Tuesday 12/16/14 The Big Trip 7

Dear Father in Heaven:  I love You.  Please forgive me of my sins.  Glory and praise to You this day, dear Lord for watching over Dolores and taking care of her and sending her back home here on earth.  Thanks for hearing the prayers and healing her.  I am so excited about this, Lord.  Please keep Your hand upon her and also David as he is to be coming home also.  Help Joanne take care of him.  Thanks for all the help You have sent us.  Oh, how I love You, Jesus, and it is still growing, yes, my love for You is growing more and more.  Please  help me now with the message and to get it dispatched.  In Jesus' Name, I pray.  Amen.

Brothers and sisters, we have witnessed a miracle, a healing by God.  Dolores was told today after a lot of testing that they could find no reason for what happened, nor how could they provide a fix.  Those of us who know her well know that she put out everything she had getting ready for this big event and in all she does daily.  She had it lined up so wonderfully, her part of the event, that I truly believe God just rested her down.  Also showing me it is also time to not push as hard.  I want to thank all of you who took time to pray, for heaven was surely stormed.  God heard our cries and gave her more time here with us.  I am thrilled.

With that said, I must tell you that while she was gone, I had to call the plumber.  It seems my toilet was broken.  It was so strange, each time my backside hit the toilet seat, the phone would ring.  Moving on.  Time to get back to the message.  Let's see, where did we park old 36?

Tuesday:  December 16, 2014:  The Big Trip:  (Day Seven)

Yesterday we left our bus parked in front of Joseph's home.  And I do want to point out the Bible called it home, and as I have said, it is a house until you invite in the Lord, then it is a home.  I also asked the question, who was Jesus before He was born to Mary?  I received one answer that was correct, but not the wording I was looking for.

Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground."  (NIV)

There were Three involved in creation.  I refer to the word "US"  and "THEM"  that I have highlighted.  So we can look at all of this and know that ALL THREE were around before there was anything.  What I was looking for was God The Father, God The Son (Jesus), and God The Holy Spirit.

John 1:5 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  2 He was with God in the beginning.  3 Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.  4 In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.  The Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.  (NIV)

The answer sent to me by "Leslie" as the "Word," which is also correct for indeed it spells that out.  It also talks about the Life.  "In Him was Life."  It also mentions "Light of men."  But wait, you are saying, this does not prove that Jesus was around from the start.  Maybe this will show you.

John 1:14 - The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.  We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.  (NIV)

Now do you see it?  In the beginning was the Word ---- then The Word became Flesh.  Then He made His dwelling among us.  When did the Word become Flesh?  At that very first Christmas.  Joseph was told by the angel Gabriel to name the Baby, Jesus.  And we are going to see this come to light more and more as we move forward on our Journey.  We know because we do have the Bible for events after Christmas, so we have the advantage to know that Jesus did walk among us.  Confirming He made His dwelling here.  I do hope that you all understand that Jesus was NEVER THE ANGEL MICHAEL, as some religions, meaning their leaders, tell their flocks.  But if that is not enough, let me give you one more little bit of proof.

John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way, and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.  7 If you really knew Me, you would know My Father as well.  From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him."  (NIV)

This should tie it together really well.  In the words of Jesus, He first tells them, meaning us, that we need to go through Jesus to get to the Father, His Father, Our Heavenly Father.  Then He tells them/us, if you/we "REALLY KNEW ME" you would know My Father.  Okay, meaning what if we really knew Jesus or if we really know Him today, meaning us, then we will know the Father.  Then Jesus said, from now on you know Him and have seen Him.  You need Jesus in your heart to fully grasp this.

So there you have it.  Jesus, The Son, was around from the beginning, and He was sent down to give us Light, and Life.  Wow, we never moved the bus today.  Tomorrow we will move it some.

Here is my question.  Three other names for Jesus have just shown up.  Can you see them in the one verse I used today?

Now go forth and share your blessings, and yes, my spell checker is working again.  Love ya.  Please pass on my love to others.
