Night ,day, land, sea, and veggies (of every kind) came to be. Along with the sun and stars. God created all the animals on earth and sea (of every kind).

It had all the veggie plus the tree of life He had dominion over everything that had a breath of life. God rested on the seventh day. The man was told he could eat from anything in the garden except for the tree of life which determines good from evil. This man gave a name to all the animals. To give the man a helper the man gave up one of his ribs for the creation of his helper (or woman). The First Sin and Its Punishment The serpent appears, he was very crafty, and encouraged the woman to eat from the tree of life. You touch it and you will die. The woman took the fruit and gave some to the man. The serpent tricked me. For the serpent, on your belly you shall move. Your desire shall be for your husband. The ground was then cursed, and was told “you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Eat the plants of the field and by the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground.

A Thousand Years; An angel was seen holding the key of the bottomless pit.

SO WATCH OUT! for those who follow God. The First Beast; This beast had seven heads and ten horns. It was like a leopard, its feet like a bear, with mouth like a lion. The whole earth followed the beast. (for 42 months) The beast has control. The second beast‘ This beast had two horns like a lamb. Makes the earth worship the first beast. It deceives the world. It all goes down to wisdom calculating the number of the beast. It’s number is six hundred sixty six. The lamb and the 144,000; He was standing by mount Zion along with the 144,000 “marked people”. They sing before the four living creatures (maybe the 4 angles on earth). These people have been redeemed from the earth.. They have not defiled themselves with women. These people are fruits for God and the Lamb, no lie in their mouth for they are blameless. The messages of the Three Angels; An angels was flying in midheaven with the /gospel. He said “Fear the Lord and give Him glory. Then another angel folloe saying “fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has made all nations drink wine of the wrath of her fornication. The third angel followed them crying whoever follows the beast and its image will receive a mark on their forehead or hands. They will drink the wrath from his cup of anger. Write this: “blessed are the dead who from now on die in the Lord”. Yes says the spirit, they will rest from their labors. rivers and springs of water became blood
Reaping the Earths Harvest I saw a white cloud was the son of man. It’s time to reap the earth, for the grapes are ripe. The Angels with the Seven Last Plagues; saw seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, the wrath of God will end. The angels were robed in bright linen. Then one of the four angles gave these seven angels seven golden bowls of the wrath of God. The bowls of God’s Wrath;
1. became a sore
2. sea of blood
3. Rivers and springs of water became blood
4. On the sun which mad it scorch!
5. Plunged the kingdom into darkness
6. Pour bowl in great river Euphrates, and the water dried up. Saw demonic spirits
7. It’s done (loud voice) violent earthquake

This fell on a third of the rivers and springs. This water was bitter and many people died. The fourth angel blew his trumpet and a third of sun, moon, and stars. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth. The fifth angel blew his trumpet and a star fell from heaven to earth, was also given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. Opening up the shaft smoke arose like a great furnace. Locusts will come out of the shaft and they will torture anyone who is not “marked” (this is for five months). People will want to die, but death will escape them.

John fell to his feet, His righthand was placed on him and said “don’t be afraid; I am the first and the last”. I was dead, but now I am alive forever. I also have the key of Death and of Hades. The seven stars are thee angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

This flying scroll is a curse for those who steal or swears (by His name). The Seventh vision was about a woman in a basket (which was wickedness). The Eighth vision was the four chariots; each chariots had different color horses. These color represents the 4 winds of heaven.

Wisdom gives strength to the wise more than ten rulers that are in a city. There is no one on earth so righteous as to do good without ever sinning. Everything is tested by wisdom. God has made human beings, but they have devised many schemes (both good and evil). Who is like a wise man? Wisdom makes your face shine. Wickedness does not deliver any type of justice (speedily).

Obey the word of God. We are children of the Lord. You shall not eat any abhorrent things. There are specified animals to eat. You can eat animals that have a hoof cleft in two, chews its cud, along with other animals. Though, you shall not eat the camel, the hare, and the rock badger….they are unclean, along with the pig. You can eat anything from the water that has fins and scales. You can eat any clean bird, but the restriction list was noted. Regulation concerning Tithes was stated. Spend your money (tithes) in the presence of God, and eat and drink with the Lord your God. Do this every 3 years. Now every 7 years your debts should be forgiven, you will lend but not borrow. Open your hand. Don’t have a tight fist. Be ungrudging, your God will bless you in all your work. Send a slave free after 7 years. For your firstborn of livestock, it shall be consecrated to the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 7-9
Talk of the chosen people, the land God has promised, you must destroy the other people. You must destroy the “other” people of the land, and destroy their idols. The Lord will turn away all evil that the people had in Egypt. God will give all the nations around you, low but sure. God warns about leaving God in prosperity, God tested the people for 40 years in the wilderness. Keep Gods commandments….don’t exalt yourself. If you don’t honor the Lord you will (or shall) perish. Now, don’t, rebel against God OR the Lord promised the defeat of the Anakim (strong and tall) people. Don’t think it’s because of your righteousness (it’s because they are wicked people….so don’t boast). Remember that you are stubborn people. You have made God angry. Don’t turn away from God. You even provoked our God to wrath by creating the calf idol.
Lord, I don’t understand what the consequences of rebelling against you (not that I’m going tto challenge you), the reading instruct that you are an awesome God slow to anger. I do understand that it’s not a tit for tat situation

James 4-5
Find friendship with the world. You spend on yourself, not God. Friendship with the word is enmity with God. Therefore whoever wishes to be friends with the world becomes an enemies of God. We ask wrongly because we ask for . God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Resist the devil and he will flee you. Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Now don’t speak evil against one another. Whoever speaks evil against another judges another. Don’t be a judge! There is only one lawgiver. So, what is your life, you are like a mist. If you don’t do something that you think is right, you commit sin. Beware of becoming to rich. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure.
did you condemn the righteous one? Be patient until the coming of the Lord, just like a farmer waiting for his crops. Have strength in your patience. You also need to pray; it will save the sick and forgive sins. Also talked about Elijah praying for rain. Talk about saving the sinner’s soul from death.

Ecclesiastes 1-2
Reflection of a Royal Philosopher (son of David). Everything is vanity! All things are wearisome. Your eyes are not satisfied with seeing, or ears from hearing. People from long ago will not be remembered. The futility of seeking wisdom. God has given an unhappy situation to be busy with (seeking wisdom). The crooked cannot be straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted (the number guy doesn’t like this thought!). Is achieving great wisdom a folly (or like chasing the wind). If you increase your knowledge you will also increase your sorrow. The futility of self-indulgence; A test of pleasure. Help with wine, buildings, gardens, slaves, great possession of flocks, singers…. became great. His please came from all his toil, this was his reward. No wisdom and joy are given to one who pleases God. Wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness. The wise have eyes in their head, but the fools walk in darkness. Is wisdom vanity? Mortal like to eat and drink while finding enjoyment in their toil. This is from the hand of God. Is God the only one to have enjoyment? The reward- one who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy. The sinner gets the work of gathering and heaping, only to give to one who pleases God. This is vanity!

James 1-3
written by James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ
When ever you face trial, considerate nothing but joy, because testing of your faith produces endurance. This will make you mature and complete. Don’t doubt, you will receive nothing from the Lord. Don’t be doubleminded, like the waves on the sea. Endure temptation, by yourself (because God does not tempt you), for temptation will lead to sin! Every gift is from above. Your anger does not produce God’s righteousness. Look at the law of liberty, but be sure to act because they will be blessed in their doings. Now, if you practice partiality. Don’t be judges of evil thoughts (example of rich vs. poor person). You have been judges and of evil thoughts. Don’t show partiality. Mercy triumphs over judgement. Faith without works is dead; by you works, show me your faith. Those who teach will be judged with greater strictness (reference guiding the whole body, or a rudder on a ship) The tongue is like a fire from hell. There are two kinds of wisdom; Shown by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t be boastful and false to the truth. This second wisdom does not come from above. it’s earthly, unspiritual, devilish. The wisdom from above is first pure, then partiality, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits. [18] And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.
This is in the top three of the readings so far this year!

Hebrews 8-10
Talk about a mediator of a better covenant…from the Lord. Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant. He will put the laws into their minds. He will remember their sins no more. There are both Earthly and Heavenly Sanctuaries. Talk about the first and second tent. When Christ came, he became the perfect tent (not made by their own hands). There was a comparison between the blood of livestock to the blood of Christ. It reads; purifying our conscience from dead works to worship the living God. Reason: he is the mediator of a new covenant. Under law almost everything is purified by blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness on sin. Now Christ’s sacrifice takes away sin. Christ entered into heaven itself…to remove sins for all. There is a feeling of no consciousness of sin since it’s been forgiven. It is written that “you have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings (offered according to the law). People still are offering “stuff” for forgiveness of sins. Provoked on another with hope and good deeds. God will be the judge of all. Do you have compassion? You need endurance….live by faith.

Hebrews 5-7
We are instructed that we are put in charge of things pertaining to God and offering gifts and sacrifices for our sins. Christ did not glorify himself as high priest. Being born perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation. There is also a warning against falling away. Remember to establish the practice (and knowledge of) the difference between good and evil. Work towards perfection. Go for the laying on of hands. We are looking for faith through righteousness. Now Melchizedek, King of Salem, apportioned one-tenth of everything “the king of righteousness”. Melchizedek remain a priest forever. This is where “the law to collect tithes” was established. Moses said nothing about priests. Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. It says that their is no need to sacrifice day after day because He sacrificed for all when He offered himself.

A lament to Israel (for their sin). Seek the Lord to live. Bring righteousness to the ground. The Lord knows our transgressions. Hate evil and love good. The Lord will put Israel into exile beyond Damascus. Self-indulgence will be punished. Whose territory is better? They have turned justice into poison. God created locust and fire against Jacobs territory, to eat up the land. God set up a plumb line, the lord said that he will never again pass them by. Amos is no prophet, and was told by the Lord to go prophesy to “my” people of Israel. Amos prophesized bad thing to Amaziah. The Lord showed Amos a basket of fruit. A famine is coming, those who are seeking the word of God. Eyes of the Lord is upon Israel, he will destroy it from the face of the earth- except for the house of /Jacob. All sinners will fall by the sword. The time is surely coming when the fortune of the people of /Israel will be restored They shall rebuild and plant vineyard and drink their wine.

Proverbs 25
More sayings of Solomon:
Glory of God is to conceal things
Glory of king to search things out
It’s better to be told “come up here” than to be put lower in the presence of a noble
Argue your case with your neighbor directly
Do not disclose another’s secret
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold of silver
A gold ring is like a wise rebuke to a listening ear
louds and wind without rain is one who boasts of a gift never forgiven
If you find honey, eat only enough for you,, or else, having to much, you will vomit it
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbors house, otherwise your neighbor will become weary of you
Don’t bear false witness against a neighbor, it’s like a war club
Trust in a faithless person is like a “bad tooth”
sorrow gnaws at the human heart
If your enemies are hungry give them bread to eat
the Lord will repay you for your kindness
Like a city breached, without walls, is one who lacks self-control

Don’t answer fools in accordance to their folly, or you will become a fool yourself. Talk much about a fool. Even talks about a lazy people are wiser in self-esteem. Don’t deceive your neighbor. Don’t believe an enemy who speaks graciously, there are abominations concealed within the words
Lord, what do you think of fools? How did they become foolish? Is it the devil?

Proverbs 22
favor is better than silver or gold
the lord is the maker of the rich and the poor
the clever see danger and hide, simple stands fast
train children in the right way, getting older, they will not stray
the borrower is a slave of the lender
Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, the rod of anger will fall
Those who a generous are blessed
God will watch over knowledge, but overthrows the words of the faithless
Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself will lead to loss
Trust in the lord
Know what’s right and wrong
Don’t give pledges (Proverbs 22:26)

Psalms 105-107
Even though the Israelites test God, he is still very faithful. Make known his works, his covenant he made with Abraham. Even said don’t harm my servants.. Turned water into blood, swarms of flies, shattered fruit trees, swarms of locusts who devoured all the vegetation in their land. Stride down the first born. Israel declares “praise the lord”. We have sinned, we did not remember your steadfast love. Now don’t test the Lord, don’t worship an idol. They even provoked the Lord to anger! The Israelis were sacrificing their sons and daughter to the demons of Canaan. They became unclean in their acts and prostituted themselves in their doings. He delivered the people of Israel from many bad things. Bless his everlasting love. Give thanks to the Lord because he is good, so say the people He has redeemed from trouble. God saves his people from distress, delivers from destruction. The Lord calmed the storms, he does good things.
Are you showing the people of Israel as an example?

Spies were sent into Canaan, they were sent by Moses. Gave names of these spies. They went to do a little recon of the land. The spies brought back the fruit of the land. Though, the people were strong. The Israelites were not impressed by the sent spies, the land flows with milk and honey (was this the promised land?). These people did not believe in the Lord, they confronted Moses. Remember, the Lord is slow to anger! The Israelites were complaining against the Lord. The congregation learned that Gog was not going to be with the people. More talk about offering by fire (pleasing odor to the Lord). When you eat, you need to give an offering. Don’t disobey the Lords commandments. Note: A person who was collecting sticks on Sabbath was stoned to death. To be cut off from the people. Moses was told by the Lord to stone him to death. (Ouch!) The use of fringes on garmen to remind yourselves of the Lords commandments. Moses was confronted by leaders of the congregation. The glory of the Lord appeared to the whole congregation.

The Jews were looking for a chance to kill Jesus (in Judea). This happened at the Festival of Booths. The thought of some was that Jesus was deceiving the crowds. Show your good works.

The police were impressed by Jesus teaching. A woman was caught in adulty. Moses said to stone this person. Jesus says anyone who has not sinned can throw the first stone. Thus, no one condemned her and Jesus says “neither do I”….go and sin no more. Jesus judging is valid. Jesus foretells his death, other will die in their sins. People did not understand about the Father. “The truth will set you free”. Jesus did not come by himself, the father sent Him. Whoever keeps my word will never taste death. Jesus met a blind mind, Jesus is the light of the world, he spat on the ground and told him to wash at the pool of Siloam. Thus, the blind person could see. Jesus helped him receive his sight. It was done on the sabbath. The Pharisees were disciples of Mosses., but the blind man was a disciple of Jesus. Where did Jesus comes from? Jesus asks the blind person (who now has sight) Do you believe in the son of man.? “If you were blind, you would not have sin”. So what does this mean? Does this mean our eyes are bad? Do we need to remove our eyes?

Proverbs 19
Better to be poor and walk with integrity the one who speaks in perversion Desire without knowledge is not good. One’s own folly leads to ruin. Wealth brings many friends but the poor are left friendless. To get wisdom is to love oneself. A liar will not escape and will perish. It’s not fitting for a fool to live in luxury. Those who are of good sense are slow to anger and can overlook an offense. Laziness brings on a deep sleep. Those who keep the commandment will live. Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and will be repaid in full. Discipline your child while there is hope. Listen to advice and accept instructions which will lead to wisdom in the future. It’s better to be poor than being a liar. Loyalty is desire in a person. Strike a scoffer and the simple will learn prudence. A worthless witness mocks at justice. Condemnation is ready for scoffers.
Lord, please guide our church!

All that are evil stay away from the light!. No one can receive anything that is not sent from heaven. Gives the spirit that has no measure. Now the issue with a Jew and a Samaritan where Jesus wants a drink. We don’t share!. Then the talk of “living water” arose. Drink L.W. and you will never be thirsty again. The L.W. is a spring of water for everlasting life. Jesus recalls that this women had 5 husbands. Worship the spirit (who is God).. The reaper is gaining food from the harvest (maybe eternal life?). Look around and see the fruits are ready. Jesus then goes to Galilee. He then healed an officials son.

Daniel 1-6
King Nebuchadnezzar came and besieged Babylon. There was “training” of young men.. There was rations of vegetables. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream about the unsatisfied spirit. The wise men could not impetration of the dream. God them intervened from God about the interpretation of the dream. The interpretation was about gold, and 4 different kingdoms. (of the world to come) Gods kingdom will last forever. Daniel was then worshiped by Nebuchadnezzar and was given a kingdom to rule. God changes times and seasons. Gives wisdom. Daniel saves the wise men. The God in heaven. Gods kingdom will not be destroyed. But, it will be a divided kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue (60 cubits tall) in the province of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar told people to worship this statue or be put in a furnance of blazing fire. Nebuchadnezzar was “pissed off” and threw people into the fire. There was four people walking in the fire. had no power, and was not hurt. Thus, God is God. Then, the second dream. A tree was grown in the center of the earth, had abundant fruit, it had food for all. Even hosted birds. Then the “Holy Watcher” told me to cut own this tree to its stump. So the King then lost control of Babylon, and he learned the “rule” of God. The king then watches a hand write upon the halls wall. The most high God rules over all, you praise the god of silver and gold. When your Dad was acting proudly he was driven from his kingship. He acted proudly. Daniel declares you have not humbled yourself. Then there was a trap to get Daniel. This was the start of Daniel “in the lions den” (because of him praying three times per day). God saved Daniel from the lions.

He talked about a statue of gold, silver, and bronze, was destroyed and was carried away with the wind. It was damaged by a stone. It was interpreted that the kingdom will turn into 4 kingdoms. Thus Daniel became ruler of Babylon. People were told to worship the golden statue or ELSE they will be thrown into a fire. The three people came out of the fire and was saved by God. Nebuchadnezzar had a second dream. He was talking about this great tree, and was told to chop it down. The interpretation was that heaven was sovereign. He was driven away from human society. His kingdom was restored after grazing on grass. A “hand” was writing on the wall. Daniel could interpret the writing because he has a great spirit. Daniel did not want anything for his interproton of the hands writings. There was then a plot against Daniel. Thus, he was thrown into the Lions den. He was saying prayer to God, not the King.

Then John the Baptist testified in font of Jews and priests. They ask – “who are you”. He replies of being “one crying out in the wilderness”. They also question him of Baptizing if he is not the Messiah nor Elijah, or a prophet. We says “I baptize with water” but the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal. John the Baptist declares “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. JtB declare the he saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.

Provers 14-15
A devious person despises God
A faithful witness does not lie
A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain
Fools do not find words of knowledge
Fools mock the sin offering
The simple believes in everything while the clever considers their steps
One who is quick tampered acts foolishly
The clever is crowed with knowledge
the evil bow down to the good
the rich have many friends
those who despise their neighbors are sinners
crown of wise is wisdom
fear of the Lord is the foundation of life
the tongue dispenses knowledge, the mouth of fools pour out folly
A gentle tongue is the tree to life
the Lord loves the one who pursues righteousness
Sorrow of heart will break your spirit
The mind of one who has understanding seeks knowledge
Those who ar greedy for unjust gain makes trouble for their household
Those who hate bribes will live
the mouth of the wicked pours out evil

After 50 days you shall present an offering of grain to the Lord (23:16) Talk of an elevation offering. Don’t gather the harvest at the edges of the field, leave them for the poor and for the alien (23:22). No work on the day of atonement. Have a light burning regularly in the tent of meeting (24:3) set up on pure gold. Talking about blaspheming the Lord…put to death (24:16).

The Lord hosted Zacchaeus. The parable of the ten pounds where you find out about investing in GOOD things. To all those who have money, more will be given, for those who have nothing, even that will be taken away. Then a colt was untied for the Lord. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem because they did not see the Lord. The authority of Jesus was questioned. Then a parable about a tenant at a vineyard. They killed the owners son. Now a question about taxes? whose head is on the denarius? Give to the emperor what is his, and do the same for God!. Question about the resurrection.

You must go through some suffering. They were building stuff. For those who try to save their lives will lose it, and for those who lose it will save it. The parable about a widow and a unjust Judge. Keep praying and don’t lose heart. The unjust Judge folded and the widow got justice. Parable about Pharisees and tax collector: A good person was boasting and the tax collector was beating his breast for being unworthy. WHICH OF THESE TWO WAS FOUND WORTHY?. The rich man has done has followed all gods “rules” about having eternal life, but Jesus say ONE MORE THING….sell all your possessions and give the money (distribute) to the poor. It’s tough for rich people to enter the kingdom of God, like the camel threaded through the eye of a needle. What is impossible for humans is not impossible for God.

I thank our Scriber for his leading on this web site & all of his other guidance leading us to deeper spiritual growth! For years, I have used “Daily Guideposts Devotional” (thanks to a good friend) & today’s was very educational. Gail Thorell Schilling wrote of how volunteers in the Bok Tower Gardens were learning how flowers must attract pollinators (insects/birds/bats) to help the plants produce seeds to ensure the next generation. “flowers flaunt alluring designs…eye-popping colors irresistible to the pollinators. Many flowers, however are plain white…these less showy blossoms attract essential pollinators with their strong fragrances (i.e. gardenia, jasmine etc.)” Gail compared this natural occurrence to the “visible & not-so-visible ways church members perpetuate the faith for the next generation.” Some are very visible, (clergy, choir, council members, leaders) others, more introverted souls, not-so-visible, (coffee makers, lawn mowers, mailers of greeting cards, visitors of shut-ins, food preparers, volunteer lawn/property caregivers). I agree with Gail, ” Few who feed, console or teach make headlines, but they do make folks feel welcomed enough to stick around & become helpers themselves. No, one doesn’t need to be the center of attention to perpetuate a beautiful legacy of love.” We all have our own God-given gifts/talents to use where we are at in life, to reflect God’s light & love to those around us.

There was a vision of God in the Temple. The vision had six wings…the king…the Lord of hosts. Keep looking, but keep looking but do not understand (6:9).

2022: Juda was wicked. People have forsaken the lord (1:4). Your land is destroyed by aliens. Incense is a abomination towards me (1:12). Learn to do good (1:17). Lord said let’s argue this out. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts (1:23). Judgment is pronounced on arrogance. The haughty of people shall be humble (2:17). To come: instead of well-set hair. baldness (3:24). A vineyard was created on a very fertile hill (5:1). The gardener prepped to land. It yielded it wild grapes. He then removed the vineyard. Ordered no rain. Social injustice for this vineyard as per the land of Judah (5:7). People feast with lyre, harp, tambourine, flute, and wine, but do not regard the deeds of the Lord (5:12). A vision of God was seen in the temple (6:1)
