There is Forgiveness of Sins
For All Who Repent

Luke 24:46-47 NLT

⁴⁷ It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 

Prophecy about Jesus the Messiah
By King David

Psalms 22:1-31 NLT
¹ My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help? 
² Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer. Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief. 
³ Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 
⁴ Our ancestors trusted in you, and you rescued them. 
⁵ They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you and were never disgraced. 
⁶ But I am a worm and not a man. I am scorned and despised by all! 
⁷ Everyone who sees me mocks me. They sneer and shake their heads, saying, 
⁸ “Is this the one who relies on the Lord? Then let the Lord save him! If the Lord loves him so much, let the Lord rescue him!” 
⁹ Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb and led me to trust you at my mother’s breast. 
¹⁰ I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born. 
¹¹ Do not stay so far from me, for trouble is near, and no one else can help me. 
¹² My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in! 
¹³ Like lions they open their jaws against me, roaring and tearing into their prey. 
¹⁴ My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. 
¹⁵ My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead. 
¹⁶ My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet. 
¹⁷ I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat. 
¹⁸ They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing. 
¹⁹ O Lord, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid! 
²⁰ Save me from the sword; spare my precious life from these dogs. 
²¹ Snatch me from the lion’s jaws and from the horns of these wild oxen. 
²² I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people. 
²³ Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! 
²⁴ For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help. 
²⁵ I will praise you in the great assembly. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you. 
²⁶ The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy. 
²⁷ The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him. 
²⁸ For royal power belongs to the Lord. He rules all the nations. 
²⁹ Let the rich of the earth feast and worship. Bow before him, all who are mortal, all whose lives will end as dust. 
³⁰ Our children will also serve him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. 
³¹ His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done.

In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.

Acts of the Apostles 17:3 NLT
³ He explained the prophecies and proved that the Messiah must suffer and rise from the dead. He said, “This Jesus I’m telling you about is the Messiah.”

Romans 12:1-2 NLT
¹ And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 
² Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

♡🩷♡

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.

Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.

Come Out!
4 Days Late
But Still On Time
Resurrection of Lazarus
From the Dead

John 11:39-44 NLT
³⁹ “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” 
⁴⁰ Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” 
⁴¹ So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. 
⁴² You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” 

⁴³ Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 

⁴⁴ And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”

♡🩷♡

Set Free from Fear

John 20:17 NLT
“Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 

"Mary Magdalene’s worst fears were realized in the death of Jesus. It’s no wonder that she clung to Him the moment she realized the “gardener” was really her Savior. The fear of losing Jesus again seems to have motivated Mary to grab hold of Jesus and not let go."*

Consider Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you . . .”
The glorified Jesus is known by the Spirit.
Jesus arose to free us from the power of fear!
We do not need to fear when we have the Holy Spirit from God." *

Jesus arose to free us from the power of fear!

Scriptures for Freedom from Fear

God's Presence is With us
Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Deuteronomy 31:6 NLT
So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

♡🩷♡

God is our Protector
Psalms 46:1 NLT
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Psalms 118:6 NLT
The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?

♡🩷♡

Seek Him & Be Delivered  From All Fears
Psalms 34:4 NLT
I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.

2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

♡🩷♡

No Fear In Love
1 John 4:18 NLT
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 

Pray for Peace
Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
⁶ Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 
⁷ Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Replace Fear with Faith
Psalms 56:3 NLT
But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

Counter Fear by Being Strong & Courageous
Joshua 1:9 NLT
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

"Letting go of what has become familiar and moving into what God has for us in a new season can be scary. Let us remember that “fear not” and “be not afraid” appear in Scripture some 365 times. Consider Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you . . .” Jesus arose to free us from the power of fear!"*
Pray:
"Lord Jesus, I surrender my fears to you today, asking You to fill me with shalom, Your peace, and to guide me by Your Spirit into greater confidence and hope. Amen."

The Third Day

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Jesus Christ
Risen
On the Third Day

Matthew 12:40 NLT
For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

Hosea 6:1-2 NLT
¹ “Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. 
² In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.

The Three Days Explained:
Youversion Reading Plan: 
'Transformed by the Messiah' 
Day 2: Risen on the Third Day
"How was the Messiah in the tomb three days and three nights if He was buried on a Friday afternoon and resurrected on a Sunday morning? " 
"It’s a good question that is answered by understanding a few technicalities of Jewish law.
The seven-day shiva period of mourning begins on the afternoon of the first day the deceased person is buried. So even if they are buried right before sunset, that counts as day one (even though it’s not a full twenty-four-hour period). According to Jewish law, one can stop mourning and resume certain aspects of “normal life” after morning prayers on the third day of shiva (again, not a full twenty-four hours).
Jesus’ entombment on Friday was day one. And we know He was in the tomb all day Saturday (day two). On the third day, after morning prayers, the disciples would be returning to a more regular life, as shiva ends the mourning period on the third day. Jesus rose that morning. So according to the Jewish understanding of “sitting shiva” and the other avelut (laws) of mourning, technically three days had passed, and Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of being “in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights” (Matt. 12:40).
The number three has tremendous significance in the Bible and in the life of Jesus. It is associated with redemption, going back as early as the exodus. There were three sprinklings of the blood of the Passover lamb applied to the top and the two sides of the doorposts of the Israelites’ houses. Also, the third of the four cups in a Passover Seder is known as the Cup of Redemption. It’s no coincidence that He lifted this third cup to inaugurate the Lord’s Supper. He prayed three times when He was arrested. He was nailed to the cross at the third hour. He died in the ninth hour, which is three o’clock in the afternoon. And, of course, the Lord was resurrected on the third day.
Jesus was raised on the third day to fulfill this promise and bring healing and restoration so we might live in God’s presence in the messianic kingdom for all eternity. "
Prayer:
"Thank You, Lord Jesus, Yeshua, for fulfilling the prophecy and rising on the third day to save me from the power of sin and death and to deliver me into Your family! Amen."

The Garden Grave

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

The Garden Grave
Sin Began in the Garden
Life Started in a Grave in a Garden

Adam & Eve Sinned 
in the Garden of Eden

Genesis 3:8-13, 21-23 NLT
⁸ When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 
⁹ Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” 
¹⁰ He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.” 
¹¹ “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?” 
¹² The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.” 
¹³ Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”
²¹ And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife. 
²² Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!” 
²³ So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden,...

Jesus the Suffering Servant

Isaiah 53:4-9 NLT
⁴ Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! 
⁵ But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. 
⁶ All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. 
⁷ He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. 
⁸ Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. 
⁹ He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.

A Grave in a Garden

John 19:38-42 NLT
³⁸ Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away. 
³⁹ With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. 
⁴⁰ Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 
⁴¹ The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. ⁴² And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Life Started in a Grave in a Garden

Hosea 6:2 NLT
In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.🕊️

Isaiah 53:10 NLT
But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.

Acts of the Apostles 2:25-32 NLT
²⁵ King David said this about him: ‘I see that the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 
²⁶ No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope. 
²⁷ For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave. 
²⁸ You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’ 
²⁹ “Dear brothers, think about this! You can be sure that the patriarch David wasn’t referring to himself, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us. 
³⁰ But he was a prophet, and he knew God had promised with an oath that one of David’s own descendants would sit on his throne. 
³¹ David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave. 
³² “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this. 

Acts of the Apostles 13:33-35 NLT
³³ and God has now fulfilled it for us, their descendants, by raising Jesus. This is what the second psalm says about Jesus: ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.’ 
³⁴ For God had promised to raise him from the dead, not leaving him to rot in the grave. He said, ‘I will give you the sacred blessings I promised to David.’ 
³⁵ Another psalm explains it more fully: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.’ 

Acts of the Apostles 26:22-23 NLT
²² But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen— ²³ that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, and in this way announce God’s light to Jews and Gentiles alike.”

1 Corinthians 15:3-7 NLT
³ I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 
⁴ He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 
⁵ He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. 
⁶ After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 
⁷ Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.

"Jesus came to reverse the sin of Adam and Eve that began in the garden of Eden when they broke God’s command and took from the tree. Jesus “returned” to a garden to reverse the curse, restore the blessing, and bring life out of death. In that garden grave, the story came full circle."

What If Life 
Is About More Than 
Just My Happiness?

My Purpose Beyond My Happiness 
What Truly Is My Joy 

Acts of the Apostles 20:24 NLT
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Ecclesiastes 3:12 NLT
So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. 

Philippians 2:2 NLT
Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

True Joy
Galatians 5:22-23 NLT
²² But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 
²³ gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

An inner joy, not just an outward joy.

Matthew 22:39 NLT
A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 

Nehemiah 8:10 NLT
"...the joy of the Lord is your strength!”

Inner Joy Over Happiness
Happiness in the moment is fleeting but there is a joy of the Lord that abides forever and lasts even during trials.
Serve others above my personal comfort.

Psalms 16:11 NLT
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

Proverbs 15:13 NLT
A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.

2026 - A New Year

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

2026
A New Year
A New Beginning 
Filled with God’s Grace

As the new year begins, it offers a sacred moment to pause, reflect, and renew faith. Each new season is a reminder of God’s grace — a chance to start afresh, leaving behind what weighs the heart and stepping forward in hope.

Scripture reminds us that God’s mercies are new every morning. The turning of the calendar is more than a change in date; it is an invitation to trust God’s plan with renewed confidence. The past year may have brought challenges, but through every trial, God’s presence remained steadfast.

Entering the new year of 2026, let hearts be anchored in gratitude and purpose. Seek to grow in love, serve others with compassion, and walk in the light of Christ. Let prayer guide each decision and faith shape every goal.

We will receive renewed strength from God and also rise above our problems. We must persevere and endure through our life's journey without becoming discouraged.

This year, may God’s peace dwell deeply within and the joy of the Lord overflow in daily life as the love of Christ shines through every action. In Him, every beginning holds promise, and every step forward is filled with grace.

Joyful, blessed New Year in 2026.
May we continue to lift up the Name above all names, Jesus.  Remember to carry the persecuted church in your prayers.

Much love in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

Isaiah 40:31 NLT
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.

The Blood

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

The Blood
Pleading the Blood
Rest in Christ's Finished Work
On The Cross

The victory has already been accomplished through Christ’s finished work on the cross.
No need to plead the blood in every situation, over any object or person.

1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The blood of Jesus is for the forgiveness of sin because without the shedding of blood their is no forgiveness of sin.

We have already been transferred into the Kingdom of God's dear Son. 
We do not need to 'plead the blood' over and over again.

Jesus is not apart from His blood.

Through the years, as we grow in our walk with Christ and grow from the milk to the meat of God's word, I have learned that we do not "plead the blood of Christ".  Through prayer and seeking truth in the Bible, I know that the blood of Jesus shed for our sins, cleanses us from our sins. That's it.  No 'pleading the blood'.  I never knew it came from the 'Word of Faith' movement.  It is a Pentecostal tradition.  

♡🩷♡
Romans 5:9-11 NLT
⁹ And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 
¹⁰ For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 
¹¹ So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Christ already disarmed spiritual rulers and authorities!🙌 No need to plead the blood again and again.🙂👇
Colossians 2:15 NLT
In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.

John 19:30 NLT
When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Hebrews 10:10 NLT
For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

Colossians 2:14-15 NLT
¹⁴ He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 
¹⁵ In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.

1 Timothy 2:5 NLT
For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. 

Colossians 1:13-14 NLT
¹³ For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 
¹⁴ who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.

My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. 

Revelation 1:5 NLT
⁵ and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. 

Revelation 12:11 NLT
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

Revelation 19:10 NLT
Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:9 NLT
For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. 

The Blood of Christ was poured out to save us from the wrath to come.

Colossians 2:8 NLT
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking [tradition] and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. 

Instead of 'pleading'  the blood, we should rest in what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross.
It is already done, finished!🥰🙌✝️🐑🩸🕊👑

"We have been cleansed by the blood of Christ, and now He is our High Priest and mediator who “always lives to make intercession” for us (Hebrews 7:25). As His sheep we are already under His protection; we simply need to live day by day trusting in Him for what He has already promised and provided."

Pearls & Pigs

Matthew 7:6 NLT

🕊📖🦪📖🕊
Proverbs 9:7-8 NLT

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared, “It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles. 
⁴⁷ For the Lord gave us this command when he said, ‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’” 
⁴⁸ When the Gentiles heard this, they were very glad and thanked the Lord for his message; and all who were chosen for eternal life became believers. 
⁴⁹ So the Lord’s message spread throughout that region.
⁵² And the believers were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

God's Love for Jerusalem

Jerusalem—an Unfaithful Wife

♡🩷♡
Ezekiel 16:60-63 NLT
60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were young, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Then you will remember with shame all the evil you have done. I will make your sisters, Samaria and Sodom, to be your daughters, even though they are not part of our covenant.
62 And I will reaffirm my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
63 You will remember your sins and cover your mouth in silent shame when I forgive you of all that you have done. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

New Covenant Prophesied

Jeremiah 31:31-37 NLT
31 “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord.

33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”

35 It is the Lord who provides the sun to light the day
    and the moon and stars to light the night,
    and who stirs the sea into roaring waves.
His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    and this is what he says:
36 “I am as likely to reject my people Israel
    as I am to abolish the laws of nature!”

37 This is what the Lord says:
“Just as the heavens cannot be measured
    and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored,
so I will not consider casting them away
    for the evil they have done.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

"Commentaries on Ezekiel 16:61, found on StudyLight.org and other sites, explain that this verse signifies God establishing a new, everlasting covenant with Israel, extending beyond the old covenant to include Gentiles who will become "daughters" in the new covenant community, receiving their spiritual inheritance from Israel. The "elder and younger sisters" refer to the Gentiles, who will be incorporated into the Church under the New Covenant.

Key Points from the Commentaries

⦁    The Everlasting Covenant:
    Verse 61 introduces God's promise to establish an everlasting covenant, which commentators link to the New Covenant prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31-35.

⦁    "Thy Sisters":
The "elder and younger" sisters are interpreted as the Gentiles—those who lived before the Jewish nation was called and those who came after.

⦁    Inclusion of Gentiles:
These Gentiles will be brought into the Church and receive the privileges and ordinances of God's covenant, participating in the new spiritual community alongside converted Israelites.

⦁    A New Spiritual Family:
The "giving them unto thee for daughters" signifies that the Gentiles, once brought into the Church by God's grace, will be incorporated into the covenant people and obey the word of God.

⦁    Shame and Repentance:
The context of the verse suggests that when God shows covenant grace and brings these "sisters" into the fellowship, Jerusalem will then remember her past ways, be ashamed, and acknowledge her great sinfulness.

In essence, the commentaries highlight that Ezekiel 16:61 is a crucial prophecy about the inclusion of the Gentiles into the people of God through a new covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ, our Messiah, forming a universal community of faith."

False Pretribulation Rapture Date-Setting

The 23rd and 24th came and went and the world is laughing at Christians, yet someone has again set a new date! 
The pre-tribulation rapture did not happen even though someone claimed the Lord told them the tribulation is going to start and then the false prophet added the dates. So many claimed they had dreams and the Lord confirming everything and most of them were running with the date narrative. How can so many Christians be deceived?
Jesus will never ever lie about His own words when He said that no one knows the day of His return only the Father and only the Father has the authority to set those dates and times.  Jesus said it is not for us to know.  
Yet everyone ran with all these false prophets and their visions and dreams and words from the Lord Himself and yes, I call them false prophets.  To claim Jesus said something when He did not, is to lie in His name.  Where is the fear of the Lord in that?

Ecclesiastes 5:3, 7 NLT
3 Too much activity gives you restless dreams; too many words make you a fool.
7 Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead.

Acts of the Apostles 1:6-7 NLT
So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know.

Matthew 24:36, 44 NLT
³⁶  “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
⁴⁴ You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.

Titus 1:2 NLT
"...God—who does not lie—..."

Hebrews 6:18 NLT
"...it is impossible for God to lie..."

Romans 3:4 NLT
Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him, “You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win your case in court.”

Jeremiah 23:16 NLT
This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to his people:
“Do not listen to these prophets when they prophesy to you,
    filling you with futile hopes.
They are making up everything they say.
    They do not speak for the Lord!

Matthew 24:24-25 (Jesus)
24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 
25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.

Romans 16:17
And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.

Luke 19:13 NLT 
Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver, saying, ‘Invest this for me while I am gone.’ ['Occupy till I come.']

Let us be about God our Father's business as Jesus was about His Father's business.  Do the work of serving others, bearing one another's burdens.
Eyes not on a calendar but eyes fixed on Jesus.

Oppression & Deceit 
& Inner Peace

Psalm 55:1-11;17-19,21 NKJV
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God,
And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and hear me;
I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the oppression of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me,
And in wrath they hate me.

4 My heart is severely pained within me,
And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me,
And horror has overwhelmed me.
6 So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
7 Indeed, I would wander far off,
And remain in the wilderness. Selah
8 I would hasten my escape
From the windy storm and tempest.”

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues,
For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;
Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.
11 Destruction is in its midst;
Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.

17 Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.
19 God will hear, and afflict them,
Even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

Prophecy:
The Lord's Promise of His Spirit

Joel 2:28-32 NLT
[28]  “Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. 
[29] In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. 
[30] And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke. 
[31] The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives. 
[32] But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called.

Prophecy Fulfilled
The Holy Spirit Poured Out

Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4, 16-21 NLT
[1] On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 
[2] Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 
[3] Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 
[4] And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
[16] No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: [
17] ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 
[18] In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. 
[19] And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke. 
[20] The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. 
[21] But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

I See A Cloud

1 Kings 18:1-2; 41-46 NLT
1 Later on, in the third year of the drought, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!” 

2 So Elijah went to appear before Ahab.

Meanwhile, the famine had become very severe in Samaria.

41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!”

42 So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.

43 Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.”

The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.”

Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. 

44 Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.”

Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!’”

45 And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. 

46 Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

Isaiah 60:22 NLT
"...At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

Dear ones, countless times the Lord has answered the prayers of His children. It may take years, but we continue to pray with unwavering faith and peace in our hearts, knowing that our God is both merciful and good. He tests our faith and allows everything to unfold in His perfect timing, just as we witnessed in Cape Town during the drought of 2017. So, do not fear when life feels overwhelming. Do not let your faith waver. Your Keeper and Provider is always vigilant. Persist in seeking His mercy, assistance, and provision for all your challenges. Remember, God is your Abba Father, and He truly cares for His children.

Listen to the song at the link below. Do you see a cloud?😊  
"I see a cloud. I know God is working things out for my good. I see it now. God does His best miracles when it shouldn't make any sense and I lift up my eyes again and I see a cloud!" 
When the floodgates of heaven opens, God's blessing is poured out. There will not be enough room to contain it!😊🙌🩷

Resurrection

♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Resurrection
(The gathering of God's chosen)

The resurrection is at Christ's Second Coming. Jesus is coming back with the saints who died in Him.
This is how I understand the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of His people and their gathering by the angels.
When we die, the body returns to the dust and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Then those who died in Christ Jesus, their spirits are in heaven with the Lord and it's their spirits that will return with Him at His Second Coming and THEN the resurrection from the dead (when their spirits will be clothed with a new body and it will be a glorified immortal body, like Jesus' body) and THEN those saints who are still alive on earth will be transformed. Halleluyah! Glory to our Great God! Nothing is impossible for Him.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 NLT
For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

Matthew 24:21-22, 29-31
21 For there will be greater anguish [great tribulation] than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again.
22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.
29 “Immediately after the anguish of those days,

the sun will be darkened,
    the moon will give no light,
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

30 And THEN at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.
14 For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that 🩷👑when Jesus returns,☁️⛅☁️ God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
15 ❗🩷We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died.
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.
17 🩷Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.
18 🩷So encourage each other with these words.

Philippians 3:21
He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.

1 Corinthians 15:50-58
50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.
51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!
52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.
53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?”

56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.
57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

2 Corinthians 5:1-8
New Bodies
1 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.
3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.
4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.
5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.

6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.
7 For we live by believing and not by seeing.
8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.
