1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
(perverse: turned away from that which is good)
19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
(Beware of that man who has respect of persons.)
22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
No wonder Jesus said: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (Mt. 24:21-22)
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

8 Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.

Absolutely
nothing is equal to the Word of God. That Word God gives us is greater
than rubies and greater than reputation and praise of men and greater
than all that can be desired in this world. No husband or wife or
children are above the Word God gives us! The Word of God is above all.
Luke 9 (Jesus says)
23 And HE (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his crossdaily,and follow ME.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for MY sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of ME and of MY words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when HE shall come in HIS own glory, and in HIS Father's, and of the holy angels.

Psalm 1
1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his
season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

John 1:1-4In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by HIM(The Word / Jesus); and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. In HIM (The Word / Jesus) was life; and the life was the light of men.
(God created the heavens and earth and all things through THE WORD ... And THE WORD rules ... yet the WORD is subject to God the Father.)
***
Concerning the blood of Jesus ... God gave me a very strong revelation as follows:
Hebrews 9:12... by HIS own blood HE entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us ... v. 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
I have shed none of my own blood to pay for my sins. Jesus did shed HIS own blood to pay for my sins. My sins can never be paid for by my works, by trying to make up for what I did wrong. Only through entering into belief in Jesus' blood can I be saved from my sins.
***
We are heirs with Christ through Jesus' blood.
Romans 8:11-17 But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.

John 6:35(Jesus said)Iam the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst.
Jesus, THE WORD, is the bread we, who are children of God, eat and drink.
The Lord's supper is THE WORD which we live by. We eat and drink THE WORD continually as we live on this earth.
THE WORD (Jesus) is flesh and blood to us.
John 6:48-51Jesus says: I am that bread of life.
(Jesus, THE WORD, is our bread.)
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is MY flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
(THE WORD comes down from heaven to us today and comes into our minds by His Spirit speaking ... THE WORD is living bread, for that word delivered to us today comes from God, The Father, through HIS Spirit who lives in us ... HE speaks to us through Jesus' Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and shows us the way to go as we live on this earth today ... God does this by bringing HIS thoughts to our minds by HIS Spirit. John 14:26 & John 16:13)
***
John 6:53-58Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. (Life is in The Word of God ... and the way we eat and drink that WORD given us by God.) Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I (dwell) in him.
As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.
This (The Word) is that bread which came down from heaven:

The brothers communicate with Joseph after the death of their father Israel/Jacob
Genesis 50
16 And they (the brothers of Joseph) sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
💥💥💥
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
Joseph's faith that God will deliver the children of Israel from Egypt: Faith without works is dead.
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
💥💥💥
Hebrews 11:22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
This is an act of faith on the part of Joseph.
God will deliver you from Egypt and bondage. And Joseph gave commandment that they take with them his bones. This Joseph said showing faith in God's deliverance.
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
(James 4:13-16 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.)

2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
No wonder Jesus said: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

I
asked God what HE wanted you to hear today and HE brought to my
attention something that happened to me this week and I will record that
message for you for today.
💥 Seeking what to do:
The
previous month when I was at dentist for tooth cleaning, my dentist
came in to check my teeth and found I needed 2 fillings. And one tooth
might present a problem for it is next to a bridge I have in upper left
of mouth. She warned me that I might lose the bridge. She said she
couldn't tell until she got into the tooth that needed the filling. (Her words brought fear and I began praying, asking God to help me and to guide her in the work.)
Between
the time she said this and the next dental appointment, every time a
thought came concerning the appointment, there was dread and even a
little fear. I would pray again.
The day before the tooth filling appointment, a thought came to my mind: "Fix only one tooth at the appointment and schedule a second appointment to do the other tooth." (I knew this was a plan from God.)
After that, I had no more dread or fear. I had heard from God and knew exactly what to do. That Word from God gave me an "anchor" for my way and kept my soul at peace!
As we drove to the appointment, I was so happy! I knew what to do.
When
I asked the dentist if we could repair only one tooth that day and make
a second appointment for her to work on the other tooth, she said: "That would work well for me also." (Unknown to me she was getting ready to go on maternity
leave in 3 weeks.) She said she would like to work on the upper tooth,
the one that is beside the bridge. She told me it was more difficult
for her to reach lower teeth in her condition. I told her that would be
fine. She scheduled November 14 for the other filling. I was glad to have the space of time between the tooth work!
Everything went very well and I did not lose the bridge! Although
she did trouble me a little in "warning" me that later she might have
to replace the bridge. I prayed when she said these words.
Philippians 4:6 (Paul instructs us) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
(I was still in the dentist chair when I was praying to God about the "possible" problem with the bridge.)
If possible, pray immediately!
I think the plan God gave me to separate the tooth work into 2 appointments helped both me and that dentist!
God
knows what's best for us! And after HE gives us HIS plan, we have the
way to overcome the problem and the victory over fear, dread, anxiety!
Seek God's plan through prayer and wait for the plan to come from God!
Then do what God has shown you to do!

💥 Satan trying to swallow woman in our church group.
I saw the following open vision from God showing me this about this woman: There
was a very big giant prehistoric type snake, about 5 times the size of a
big alligator. This church woman was 1/2 way in the snake's mouth.
She was already 1/2 swallowed, up to her waist. Only her legs were out
of snake's mouth ... Then she completely disappeared. She was in
the belly of the snake. Swallowed whole like Jonah. The snake was
licking his lips ... Then the snake had turned around and was wagging
the tip of his tail like a satisfied dog. End of open vision.
She is surrounded by unbelievers ... 5 ... thus the snake is size of 5 unbelievers. (husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter)
As a believer, greater is HE that is in her than HE that is in unbelievers. (I Jn. 4:4)
But they carry the doctrines of this world and she can take on their doctrines unless she does proper spiritual warfare, making the Word of God overcome their doctrines in her own heart.
2 Cor. 10:5 Casting
down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against
the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ (the Word);
💥💥💥
She has already demonstrated to Pam and I that she has taken into her heart 2 doctrines of this world: Salvation by works and the "goodness" of man, and strength of bodily exercise led by therapists and hope in therapy of man.
God had me send her 2 scriptures showing the doctrine of Christ:
Revelation 5:9;12-14 & I Timothy 4:8
Rev. 5:9;12-14And they sung a new song, saying, THOU art worthy to
take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for THOU wast slain, and
hast redeemed us to God by THY blood out of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under
the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I
saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto HIM that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped HIM that liveth for ever and ever.
After this scripture, she did say, "Of course."
(As
she praised the physical therapist and bodily exercise which she hoped
would restore her husband after the 2 small strokes, I sent following
doctrine of Christ.)
I Timothy 4:8 For
bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to
come.
You think you can't be pulled away by circumstances of life? Remember the downfall of Solomon? God warned Solomon twice. But Solomon apparently did not think it could happen to him. Solomon didn't believe God in this, and that point God made to Solomon was his ruin and downfall in his old age.
I Kings 11
1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 7
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of
Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the
abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
God
greatly penalized Solomon's house by dividing the kingdom from them and
giving 11 tribes to another king: Divided kingdom of Israel and Judah
💥💥💥
On
approximately June 11, 2023, the husband of this woman had terrible
pain with kidney stone attack. Then he fell 2 times. This turned out
to be caused by small strokes, according to doctor.
* They
could not get immediate appointment with a doctor concerning the kidney
stone. All they could do was to go to emergency room (ER) where they
gave husband pain medicine. They drove home, which is 15 miles into the
country. And that same night had to return to ER where they gave
husband additional medicine for pain. And ER put husband into hospital
to be treated for heart and small strokes but not for kidney stone. He spent 2 weeks in hospital but no doctor dealt with the kidney stones so far as I heard.
*
Upon returning home from hospital they still could not get immediate
appointment with doctor concerning kidney stone. The adult daughter
talked to someone she knows in medicine and did get an appointment the
following week with doctor.
*
Doctor said kidney stone was too large to pass and this would
require going to hospital for sonic surgery to break up the kidney
stone. Operating room was not available until July 20. (This
started with pain on approximately July 11.) All husband could do was
to take pain medicine and they tried 3 pain medicines to find the
medicine that worked best.
*
They have stairs all over their house, 3 levels. The adult aged son,
who lives 180 miles away, came to help and gained approval to work by
computer to be able to continue his secular job and help get his
step-father to the location needed in the house.
*
Neither the husband nor son nor adult aged daughter are believers at
this point. Barbara is surround by unbelievers and she is the only
believer in the situation. She
is allowing Satan, the snake, to swallow her, replacing her belief in
certain scripture and believing the doctrine of this world which she
wants to believe at this point in time. For her focus and desire is toward her fleshly family more than toward the Word of God. (Swallowed by the snake like Jonah was swallowed by the whale.)
*
Their plan is to try to sell the big house which requires significant
efforts to maintain. And the adult son has offered to allow parents to
move into master bedroom at his condominium, located 180-miles
across the state. Living in the house with an unbeliever until they
decide on property to purchase in the city where her son and daughter
live to obtain help in times of need by son and daughter.
So
she will have 5 people who are of the flesh speaking doctrines of the
flesh which she will have to deal with to hold onto doctrines of the
Bible.

Letter to woman in our church group:
7-26-2023
Last night I became devastated with fear over you.
I know you were the person being swallowed by that giant prehistoric snake in the open vision.
This shows you're being surrounded by unbelievers, even living with them close up in the same house, swallowed up with thinking of this world.
💥💥💥
I'm sure God has an answer for you, but it seems it started with Edward's 2 falls. (the process began of your being swallowed by the world, "eaten by the big snake.")
When I asked you how it came about that you would move into Drew's house, you answered, "He offered",but you didn't say anything about God showing you to do this.
I prayed last night for you to be saved for eternal life. But your life at the end will be a really hard life in the situationunless you work out turning to God strongly in everything, and I don't see you doing that as you showed us so far. It's like the world is eating you up. And your heart and soul seem to be tied up in the world.
Again, I prayed that you would have eternal life, but I know that you won't have a good life as this is developing. I know you could turn it around through God by diligence in prayer to God over everything and by getting HIS way by waiting on HIM to show you what to do.
As I told Sandra, "What will happen to you if you go this way?" For she had told me she didn't care about anyone or anything, and she indicated to me that included God.
So unless you strongly learn to take everything to God and get HIS plan
in the midst of the life as it is surrounded daily by unbelievers, I
know you will not have a good life at the end. You're going to have to
be much stronger with God.
(Unbelievers at this point in time: husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter)
But I do have hope of your being saved for eternal life, because that is the way I'm praying.
Nevertheless, I would like your life on this present earth to be filled with good, spiritual good as-well-as earthly good.
Love,
Joan

P.S. I keep being reminded of that scripture where Jesus said to Peter "Satan has desired to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you."
Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon,
Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as
wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
To each of us it comes down to this: Which do we love more? Those people and things of this world or the Word of God and truth of God?
1.Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Chorus:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy WORD hath provided— Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
2.Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3.Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
(Click pause symbol, " ... at beginning of hymn, to stop music)
James 1:17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. ***
Genesis 8:22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. God set all things in the solar system and they are faithful to continue in the commandment of God. We see the faithfulness of God's word day by day as the seasons continue and as the sun is visible day by day. As God is faithful in this word, we can have faith God will perform every word HE has given us.
God does as HE wills because HE is God over all, over people, over nations, over lands, over the heaven and the earth which HE created.
Man may set up rules and traditions but sometimes God will overthrow and reverse those rules that HIS will be done.
The election of God is shown as Israel blesses the two sons of Joseph.

2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
9And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
(Israel did this "guiding his hands willingly". It was showing the election of God in choosing whom HE will to bless with salvation. God had given Ephraim the position, though Manasseh was firstborn.)
* Romans 9
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20A nd he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

* Romans 9: The election of God
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of HIM that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore hath HE mercy on whom HE will have mercy, and whom HE will he hardeneth.
💥💥💥
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth HE yet find fault? For who hath resisted HIS will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew HIS wrath, and to make HIS power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that HE might make known the riches of HIS glory on the vessels of mercy, which HE had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom HE hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As HE saith also in Osee, I will call them MY people, which were not MY people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not MY people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For HE will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on HIM shall not be ashamed.
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
(So he does not go to work.)
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
(Unless God gives you a reason, it is better to say nothing.)
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
No wonder Jesus said: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (Mt. 24:21-22)
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Please keep this writing and all these concepts and scriptures before you and meditate on these things and be sure you are making proper adjustments to your life.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the
king's commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming
the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for
he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for HE endured, as seeing HIM who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest HE that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

Exodus 3
1
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of
Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to
the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he
looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not
consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him
out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here
am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6
Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was
afraid to look upon God.
7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen
the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry
by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I
am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to
bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of
Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith
the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will
send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth MY people the
children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
But God had put it into Moses heart 40 years earlier that he would deliver the children of Israel out to Egypt. We see this in the following scripture.
Acts 7
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
God will cause HIS will to happen on this earth in the life of Moses and also in the life of us whom HE has chosen.

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Work of Angels: Bible examples
Angels come down from heaven as commanded by God to do various works of God according to the will of God.
* An angel of the Lord told Zacharias that
his wife Elisabeth would bear a son and they were to call his name John. Luke 1:11-15And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him,Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
***
Luke 1:39-44
Mary, who is carrying Jesus in her womb, visits her cousin,
Elizabeth, who is carrying John the Baptist in her womb ... The baby,
John the Baptist, is filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb
as soon as Mary with the baby Jesus enter the room ...
And
Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste,
into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and
saluted Elisabeth. 41And
it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the
babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And
she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
***
Luke 1:16-17 ... concerning John the Baptist ... And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before HIM (before Jesus) in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
***
* The angel Gabriel was sent to Mary to tell her she would have a son and to call His name Jesus. Luke 1:26-38And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her,Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the
Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
And HE shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of HIS kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto her,The
Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.
And,
behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old
age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.
And the angel departed from her.
***
* An angel told Joseph not to fear to take Mary for his wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:18-25Now
the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for HE shall save His people from their sins.
Now
all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name Jesus.
***
* An angel of the Lord told the
shepherds that the Savior, Christ the Lord, had been born and they could
find Him in a manger in Bethlehem.
Luke 2:8-15And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them,Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

* An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream to tell him to take Mary and Jesus and flee into Egypt and to remain in Egypt until the angel gave him word to return.
Matthew 2:13-14And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream,saying,
Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and flee into Egypt,
and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy Him.
When he arose, he took the young child and His mother by night, and departed into Egypt
***
* Later an angel told Joseph to return into the land of Israel for the ruler who wanted to kill the baby Jesus was now dead.
Matthew 2:19-21But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying,
Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and go into the land of
Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
And he arose, and took the young child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

* When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan 40-days, angels ministered to Him.
Mark 1:12-13And immediately the spirit driveth Him (Jesus) into the wilderness.
And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts;and the angels ministered unto Him.
***
* An angel of God moved the great stone which sealed the tomb of Jesus.
Matthew 28:2And, behold, there was a
great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
***
* An angel of God came down from heaven to free Peter from prison.
Acts 12:1-11Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
And
when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to
four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to
bring him forth to the people.
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
And
when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers
before the door kept the prison.
And,
behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the
prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise
up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now
I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath
delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of
the people of the Jews.
***
* An angel delivered a message to the apostle Paul, telling Paul no harm would come to him and those on the ship.
Acts 27:18-25And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
And
when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest
lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
But
after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said,
Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete,
and to have gained this harm and loss.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
*** Genesis 28:10-12
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he
lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the
sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for
his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Angels descend, carrying messages from God and doing works of God.
Then angels go back to heaven where God assigns them as He wills.

(Comments
by Joan Boney ...) The night of January 10, 1980, I was asleep and
awakened by a very loud trumpet-like voice which blew 3 words into my
ear as follows: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS" ... I believe this to have been an angel of God speaking to me.
By this and through prayer, I came to believe God was leading me to go
on radio. Within about 5 days of this word, I was broadcasting
exhortations week-days on KWJS radio. Within a year I was on radio
stations from NYC (Hartford) to Seattle.

Psalm 104:4 Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire:
***
Exodus 23:20-25 God says: Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for MY name (the Word) is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For
Mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites,
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites,
and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. Thou
shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their
works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their
images. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and HE shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Notice how angels deliver messages from God to individuals. Angels also do great works. It was an angel who moved the large stone from the front of the tomb of Jesus.
***
It is not so much delighting in the fact that an angel appeared to you but rather delighting and following that wordwhich the angel of God delivered to you.
