And another new lesson
WEEK OF PRAYER #20: JESUS' PUBLIC MINISTRY and WE CONTINUE TO PRAY THROUGH Jesus' public ministry. Keep your eyes and heart fixed on Jesus. Use your imagination to become part of these Gospel scenes. In a colloquy, speak with Jesus or another person in the scene.
And I guess what has become so clear and powerful for me now, is that I really don't need to go into my imagination at all. Especially for a Colloquy as these Saints and Angels have really been guiding me all the time anyway. I remember doing the Consecration to Mary, and recognizing her voice as the Spirit of Mother Nature that guided me through the woods for all of my youth. And I know I've always been here with the constant voices and experience of being guided all the time. It's kinda weird when I think about it, as it's really always been there. Now more than ever it's really about me coming to completely understand and accept this. And I feel this understanding was really only the easy part. The big challenge now is to actually accept what this really means. I mean if I can understand having a very clear and strong connection to spirit, and even accept that I was born with it or grew into it naturally and spontaneously . . . . Much the same way as my daughter?!?!?! Now the real challenge is accepting what this really means and how I can step more confidently into whatever Jesus has before me.
I guess what this really means is taking all that He’s placed before me more seriously. And taking my time to focus and be clear and direct with everything that He placed before me.
And again, you must stop and recognize you have exactly what you asked for. And again you must slow down and take each step slowly and carefully.
I guess, I know this already, but it's really about taking action now. I mean, no more talk, no more planning, no more dreams about “what if.” It will only get better and move forward when I slow down and take each step very carefully and very seriously.
DAY 1, Read John 2:1-11. And what jumped out at me with this first verse was recognizing my same place again. Whatever Jesus says I must do . . . No questions, no hesitation, just do it . . . To manifest God’s Glory.
I guess this should really be no surprise for me. Of course, my next lesson in church is about accepting and understanding how I must now step into this community more clear and focused. I’ve always known I was sent here, and I always knew it was about teaching and leading. . . Course this just means, I’ve got more to learn!
I Love Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ
Please lend Your Strength, Love, & Wisdom to follow the will of God in all that I do. Slowly carefully, clear, focused, dedicated ready for any thing, in your Grace and love, I can really just love you.
DAY 2, Read Mark 8:22-26 now again I’m stepping into my responsibilities to do the tasks before me. And I take a break from class work and fix my fence. Then o more class work and break again to do Bible work. And I see this next verse before me and know this well
It’s always about stepping out more and doing more. I've got three classes to do, where they are all starting the same way with a little video introduction. And the idea of others "besought me!" I’ve really felt and understood this forever and this next step before me to allow more touch and more healing is really priceless. Yes I confess it's really challenging and almost testifying in some sense. Not that it is anything new to me, It'S just that I know my place and responsibility in being inside this time and phrase again now. And of course to take the blind man out of the city and see Trees, is my blessing each day with the prayerline asking people to get outside and love nature and gardens, as the first experience as God placed us in Eden. Yes barefoot is best, nothing like God placing us naked in Eden!
DAY 3, Read Luke 17:11-19. Yes, Jesus is always disappointed with how Jewish people treat him. Course to this century the Jews still deny he was the Messiah at all. And they still consider themselves the people promised of the Covenant of God. Since they never honored Jesus and continue to be arrogant I really don't think they will survive. Like Hitler killed millions as did Covid and I'm sure millions more will go too. So what do I feel from this. Maybe that I too will be accepted and understood by outsiders and never by my own community. I'm always seeing such strong lessons here to wonder if I should expect anything different. CLEARLY NOT! Nothing should surprise me as it's obvious all will be as God commands.
DAY 4, Repetition of one of the previous Scripture wow, this week with Jesus has been really wonderful and to review and select new phases will be interesting! Yes the first verse was the strongest for me because the mass readings were in the same vein as well.
To follow Jesus to always be in the word of God is really about always accepting and carrying the cross. We will always have a challenge and a new responsibility before us. Always ready to accept and move forward can also be a major challenge. We are always given opportunities and the insight and direction to more forward through them.
Of course, the idea and experience of giving up everything for Jesus has been very present all my life as well. I guess more so walking into my next task and responsibility with little or no regard for that is left behind. I'm not always clear about that but accept and move on all the time.
DAY 5, Read Luke 10:38-42 (Martha and Mary). Martha all distracted with all the home duties while Mary is dedicated and focused on Jesus. Does this show me the two ways of life? Lost in the distractions and the issues of the world or staying focused on Jesus. This is clearly the place we all need to start.
DAY 6, Read Mark 10:13-16 (Jesus and children). here.
