Jesus IS Lord, Amen
My earthly life clings to the dust;
Revive and refresh me according to Your word.
Psalm 119:25
Remember [always] The Word and Thy promise to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your Word has revived me and gives me life, Amen
Psalm 119:49-50
Then the LORD said to me, “you have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My Word to fulfill it.”
Jeremiah 1:12
Faith on people, faith on, Amen
Why?
“The light of the righteous [within him—grows brighter and] rejoices,
But the lamp of the wicked [is a temporary light and] goes out.”
Proverbs 13:9
What do we have?
The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and The One who rescues me;
My God, my Rock and my strength in whom I trust and take refuge;
My shield, and The horn of my salvation, my high tower—my Stronghold, Amen.
Psalm 18:2
We give God ALL The honor and praise for His Word. Heavy with blessings, soaked with promises. As we seek Him today (in this Period) glory shall we give into Him. For He has done it ALL! Our needs and wants are met. Not just met, but done so according to God’s endless riches in Glory! Amen.
One who was considered a friend of God (Moses) could not behold God in all His glory.
“Then Moses said, “Now show me Your glory.”
And The Lord said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But,” He said, “you cannot see My face, for no one may see Me and live.”
Then The Lord said, “There is a place near My essence where you may stand on a rock. When My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove My hand and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.”
Exodus 33:18-23
Hold up!
“The LORD would speak to Moses ‘face to face,’ as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.”
Exodus 33:11
“By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.”
Exodus 13:21
We read of The forms of God:
“So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
The Man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
Then The Man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
Jacob said, “Please tell me Your name.”
But He replied, “Why do you ask My name?” Then He blessed him there.”
Genesis 32:24-29
Why is this key? For so many reasons: When Moses was sent to Egypt, he asked “Who should I say sent me?”
“God said to Moses, “I am who I am.
This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ”
Exodus 33:14

We describe God by his Character. God is Love. It is awesome that people do not say “Love” sent me. Rather, we describe God by His all.
The Hebrew theonyms Elohim and YHWH are mostly rendered as “God” and “the LORD” respectively, although in the Protestanttradition the personal names Yahweh andJehovah are also used. “Jehovah” appears in the Tyndale Bible, the King James Version, and other translations from that time period and later.

“Who do you worship?” “What leads you. Guides you?” “What is at your center?”
These are the questions that we ask of ourselves and others. Religion aside, we all have a center.

I go along this route because there are different belief systems with one key unique identifier. The belief/knowledge that we focus on a central force. Yes, this I am aware has led us off our base, but has it? We are all “Human” the fact that is irrefutable. What makes us unique? A few shadings ago, I pointed out that in transplantation an Asian person can give donated organs to a Caucasian, Spaiard, Black, Middle Eastern… There is a similarity in ALL. Yes, there are changes that evolution brings about.
If we look briefly and superficially at the Olympics, Marathons etc The Kenyans have dominance in this field. People go over to Kenya to train. Is it air quality, passion…what? Yes, to briefly go on – Martial arts, developed by our Asian kin. We can go on, but I just wanted to point out known fact.
We can see from above that acts define an essence. Kind, thoughtful, selfish (thinking only of self), giving, consistent…The list is non ending. What describes you as you? Who are you? What are you?
We see above that The names of God are Who and What He is! Who He is, is what He does. A very clear circle. So, one more time for now, I will ask who you are.
My earthly life clings to the dust;
Revive and refresh me according to Your word.

Psalm 18:2
Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of Glory shall come in.
Psalm 24:70
When He comes in, there will be rejoicing in the nations. We owe our ALL to our King, our Ruler, our God – Amen! Glory Hallelujah!!! Hosanna in The Highest!
Beloved I pray with you today, for where two or three are gathered in The name of Jesus, He is there in our midst, Amen.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I command every gates locked against you, your goodness, breakthrough, lifting up and destiny to be lifted up. We are more than conquerors, Amen
Every barrier, limitation, impediment, problem, challenge, even ‘heaviness’ of spirit; be lifted up as we call out in The name of Jesus – The King of glory is coming all adverse situations that will make our observers ask – Where/Who is your God in search and need of reason. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen
Shalom.
I was moved to share this tidbit. There are some who are in a ‘near fatal’ or essentially fatal Motor vehicle accidents, Illness, Casualties of violence and likewise. They are essentially given up on/hopeless/”End of the road cases.” With current day technology there are miracles of recovery and healing, inexplicable at the time.

We can do on and on. Search “near death experiences” and go from there. What strikes me is the consistency between stories of the individuals that relate them WITHOUT having read, watched or known of others. They were sent back for a reason. You ARE reading this now, no?
For the ‘unbelievers’ or “This cannot be so!” Let us look way back: We can start with Lazarus, yes! Jesus prayed and thanked GOD for what He had already done. The tombstone was rolled and Lazarus ‘bound’ struggled to come out. MANY things overwhelm me. Yes, I am a Physician. 72 hours? No IV fluids? Nopressers? No intubation? His family and friends seen his dead body, washed him, wrapped him and lay him as with most deceased (I say this because there are and were crematoriums.) Essentially, he was confirmed dead. Medically, we can go on Dehydration, rigor mortis, cold or heat in either case… Again we could go on. This is so Medically profound that there is a term “the Lazarus syndrome. ” and we read:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_syndrome
We further can take SO much away from this.

But, wait!!! Remember: “Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
John 14:11-13
We are told, if even Jesus’ Word is difficult to swallow. But it is ALL to The glory of God, Amen
We ARE, we were created; as always I will ask, “What were you created for? Why are you? In words that have become so common What is your function? Why were you created?
Each person has unique qualities, even those seemingly without ‘purpose’ – ill or debilitated from birth, have a purpose. Their parents or parent love and care for them. This is understandable, they are part of their parent(s)- a key reason that they are loved.
Hold up! We as believers have The LORD our God as our Father. Hold up! He created us? We are a part of Him? We have been adopted!
“He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and Will.”
Ephesians 1:5
We have been adopted into The family! Who/What is Jesus??? “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.”
Romans 8:17
Again, yet another share that we should not keenly and give glory to God! Jesus suffered, He stepped down from His position of Authority and became Man! Again, He was a spiritual authority.
“Who, being in very naturea God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very natureb of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to The highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at The name of Jesus every knee should bow, in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:6-11
I will state for near the 100th time, what are you here for? Find out and fulfill it. It is yours, Amen
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which He will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exodus 14:13-14 KJV
Y’all there is nothing we need do, but be still, Amen. Remaining ALWAYS in prayer, supplication and thanksgiving, Amen
By the power of the MOST high God, we speak against every discomfort, discouragement, and negative report concerning our spiritual plate for it has been said that we shall hunger no more, Amen
We have promised to seize upon this period/day in Jesus’ name. The LORD is with you and you shall be at peace in body soul and spirit in Jesus’ name🙏🏽 Amen
