Inspiration - The Napkin

I received this in an Email.


The Napkin

John 20:6-7 reads (in "The Woman's Study Bible, The New King James Version")

6.) "Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there,"

7.) "and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself."

John 20:6-7 (King James Version):

6.) "Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went (went straight) into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,"

7.) "And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself."

Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

This is one I can honestly say I have never seen circulating in the emails so; I'll start it, if it touches you and you want to, forward it.

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection?

I never
noticed this....

The Gospel of John 20:7 tells us that the napkin,which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.

The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!'

Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first.  He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.

Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Was that important?  Absolutely!

Is it really significant? Yes!

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.

The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.

Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth,and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table.

The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'.

But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because..........

The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'

He is Coming Back!!

Be Blessed!

Spiritual Sharing: Part 2 - On Prayer - Part 1

On Prayer: Part 1

Since "Discipleship" and "Prayer" go hand-in-hand, I am going to share my insights and experience in / with prayer.

My Basics:


I have learned through the years that God (my Beloved Almighty "ABBA" Father) through my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ (my Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus) by His Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit (my Helper, my Intercessor and my Comforter) answers my prayers as follows:

1. Yes! - Immediate Manifestation.
2. Not At This Time - Manifestation in His Perfect Time, later in my time.
3. I Have Something Better In Mind - Answered In His Perfect Time Through His Will not mine and greater than I can conceive.

Unanswered Prayers:

I have learned that my unanswered prayers are unanswered because:

1. What I am asking for requires the strengthening of my "inner man" (spirit man) to be able to sustain the "Blessing" when received. It is called "character building". The larger the request the greater the "character building".
   
2. Interference from another or others praying for me against my will and God's Will.
   

It is very important to know who is praying for you and what they are praying. Example: Years ago, I was an "Artist Representative" for my cousin. I learned through experience this WAS NOT God's "calling" in my life. So I discontinued representing him. As the year was coming to a close, while chatting with a "sister in Christ", she proceeded to tell me that in the new year, she was praying for me to get a studio where I could sell my cousin's artwork.

From that day to today in my prayers, I ask that EVERY prayer that has not been prayed aright for me be bound and destroyed. Be very, very careful who you ask to pray for you and ask them to ONLY pray that God's Will and God's Plans be revealed, manifested loosed and settled Today and Forever in your life and living or something similar. And be sure to continue "praying without ceasing" in The Spirit and in the understanding for yourself. Remember: no one can do your work for you, but we can all do intercession for one another.

If you have no one praying with you REMEMBER that there are "intercessors" throughout The World that pray for The Beloved Holy Body of Christ DAILY. So include the above because all "intercessors" have not evolved in prayer to pray for ONLY God's Will and God's Plans in The Beloved Holy Body of Christ, His Glorious Church, individually and UNITED.

And most importantly give "Thanks" for the revelation, manifestation, loosing and settling in, through, around and upon you of EVERY prayer that has EVER been prayed "aright" for / with you.

Thank you for allowing me to share (give) freely my insights and experiences in / with Prayer as I have freely received. You are in my prayers.

Sandra

Spiritual Sharing - Discipleship Part 2

Discipleship Part 2

We now move to the "Words" of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ on "discipleship" in "The Gospel According To Mark"

Mark 8:34-38:

34. "And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

35. "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it."

36. "For what shall if profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

37. "Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

38. "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

Mark 9:49-50:

49. "For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt."

50. "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."

Mark 10:29-31:

29. "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,"

30. "But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

31. "But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."

Again in closing, I suggest that you read Mark Chapters 8-10 in their entirety for greater understanding.

Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray that this is a source of continued enlightenment and encouragement.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 10

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 9

Hebrews Chapter 13:

1. "LET brotherly love continue."

2. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

5. "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

6. "So that we may boldly (with good courage we) say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."

7. "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."

8. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever."

9. "Be not carried about with divers (different) and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats (food), which have not profited (helped) them that have been occupied therein."

10. "We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle."

11. "For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp."

12. "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify (set apart) the people with his own blood, suffered without (outside) the gate."

13. "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach (shame)."

14. "For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."

15. "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifices of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."

16. "But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."

17. "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief (unhappiness): for that is unprofitable for you."

20. "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"

21. "Make you perfect (complete) in every good work to do his will, working in you (us) that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

22. "And I beseech (urge) you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation (warning): for I have written a letter unto you in a few words."

25. "Grace be with you all. Amen."



"Truth-In-Action through Hebrews"
"Letting the LIFE of the Holy Spirit Bring Faith's Works Alive in You!"

"Truth Hebrews Teaches"

"Key Lessons in Faith"
"1. Faith accepts the Bible's record of who Jesus is and what He has accomplished on our behalf. It also draws near to God and clings to Him tenaciously. The believer accepts the benefits of Jesus' sacrifice and enters God's presence with confidence. Faith believes the Bible implicitly, knowing it is God's living self-expression and so submits to its judgment. Finally, faith is willing to suffer with Christ, knowing it will receive a good reward."

"Action Hebrews Invites"
"Recognize that Jesus has destroyed the fear of death for you by overcoming the Devil. Chapter 2:14-18"

"Consciously hold onto the courage and hope that is implied by your confession of faith. Chapter 3:6"

"Allow the Word of God to judge the intents and thoughts of your heart.
Chapter 4:12-13"

"Be tenacious in holding onto God's promises. Aggressively pursue God, study His Word, and build up your faith. Chapter 4:14"

"Draw near to God with confidence when in need. Believe He understands your suffering. Chapter 4:16"

"Hold on to hope! Develop a sense of high destiny. Chapter 10:23"

"Recognize that following Jesus brings reproach. Do not fear human mockery, rejection, and scorn. Chapter 13:11-13"

"2. Steps to Dynamic Devotion"
"Devotion is concentration on a particular pursuit, purpose, or cause. He who is devoted to Jesus recognizes his fleshly tendency to become lackadaisical and studies to avoid it. The Scriptures shape his thinking, and he devotes time to prayer, to waiting upon the Lord, and to praise and thanksgiving."

"Action Hebrews Invites"
"Give your full attention to God's Word and your relationship with Jesus.
Chapter 2:1-4"

"Let Jesus and His Word be the foundation and sustainer of your thinking.
Chapter 3:1"

"Celebrate daily that you have gained access to God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Chapter 9:11-15"

"Continually draw near to God with a blameless heart and faith. Chapter 10:22"

"Gather often with God's people to encourage and urge them on in righteousness. Chapter 10:25"

"Seek God diligently. Believe that He will reward you for it. Chapter 11:6"

"Practice persistent and patient praise. Chapter 13:15"

"3. Steps to Faithful Obedience"
"Faith believes what God says and acts in line with His Word. Faith allows the believer to enter the rest into which God has called all His people. It acknowledges the completed work of salvation, while faithfully obeying every instruction from God."

"Action Hebrews Invites"
"Enter the rest promised by God. Mix your faith with God's Word. Do not allow rebellion to harden your heart. Chapter 4:1-10"

"Devote your whole heart to obeying God and His Word. Trust Him to do the things He says He will do. Chapter 4:8-11"

"Study Jesus' life as your model for suffering and obedience. Chapter 5:8-10"

"Never reject a message because it makes you uncomfortable. Accept correction from God's Word. Chapter 12:25"

"Obey church leadership. Recognize and cooperate with leadership to make their job easier. Pray for them continuously and faithfully. Chapter 13:17-18"

I have "obediently", as guided, extracted from "The Epistle To The Hebrews" all that pertains to our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as our Great High Priest. This gives us a greater understanding of our "Relationship" with Him.

After studying (reading) and understanding our relationship, I encourage you to read "The Epistle To The Hebrews" in Its entirety.

If necessary re-read the extracted Scripture and Book of Hebrews in Its entirety until you grasp the fullness of our "Relationship" with our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as our Great High Priest.

Thank You for allowing me the honor and privilege of sharing with you "The Living Word" as revealed to me.

Inspiration - The U In Jesus

THE U IN JESUS

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

'Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U.'

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.


Will YOU pass it on.
When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!
If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for him, forward this.

Spiritual Sharing - Discipleship Part 1

Discipleship Part 1

In 2008, while having a spiritual pity party...... "Oh poor me, my life sucks.", I received a letter from my cousin. In making a point, he referred to us as "Disciples of Christ".  In that moment, I had to laugh as I wondered to myself, does he even comprehend what it means to "truly" consider ones self as a disciple of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ? Does he realize that even though we are saved, it does not make us a disciple overnight. It is an ongoing "process" for as long as we are here in earth.

I have been guided to share what I am experiencing in my ongoing "process" of forever becoming a "true" disciple of my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ. In so doing, I pray that someone who is also experiencing the ongoing "process" of discipleship will know you are not alone; there are others on the path so don't despair, don't give up!

We will begin with the "Definitions" of "Disciple" and "Process".

Disciple - Greek -
3100 matheteuo (math-ayt-yoo'-o) from 3101 - to become a pupil: to disciple i.e. enroll as a scholar - be disciple, instruct, teach.

3101 - mathetes (mathe-ay-tes - from 3129: a learner, i.e. pupil: - disciple.

3129 - manthano (man-than'-o - matheo - to learn (in any way): - learn, understand.

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible, James Strong LL.D., S.T.D., 1990 Thomas Neson Publishers.


Definition of "Process"- course (of time, etc.); a continuing development involving many changes. A particular method of doing something, generally involving a number of steps or operations.
Verb Transitive - to prepare by or subject to special process or method."

Websters New World College Dictionary - Fourth Edition; Michael Agnes - Editor In Chief; David B. Guralink Editor In Chief 1951-1985. Copyright 2002 by Wiley Publishing, Inc., Cleveland Ohio.

An excellent book that clearly explains "Process" that is greatly assisting me in understanding the ongoing "process" of Discipleship is: "God's Gonna Make You Laugh - Understanding God's Timing For Your Life" by Noel Jones.
I highly recommend you study and re-study it. You will be glad you did!

We will now move to The Words of my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ:

In Matthew:
Matthew 5:2-20:

2. "And he opened his mouth, and taught them saying,"

3. "Blessed are the poor (humble) in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

4. "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."

5. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth (land)."

6. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

7. "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."

8. "Blessed are the pure (sincere) in heart: for they shall see God."

9. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

10. "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

11. "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely (in deceitful fashion), for my sake."

12. "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

13. "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

14. "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."

15. "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."

16. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

17. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

18. "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle (dot of the i or cross of the t) shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

19. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

20. "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness (faithfulness) shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:43-48:

43. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy."

44. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"

45. "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise (shine) on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just (those who do good) and on the unjust."
46. "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans (tax collectors) the same?"
47. "And if ye salute (act graciously toward) your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

48. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

Matthew 10:1-4; 14-16; 22-28; 32-33; 36-40

1. "AND when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."

2. "Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3. "Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;"

4. "Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him."

14. "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet."
15. "Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."

16. "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless (innocent) as doves."

22. "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth (persists) to the end shall be saved."

23. "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over (finished with) the cities of Israel till the Son of man be come."
24. "The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord."
25. "It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub (Beelzebul), how much more shall they call them of his household?"

26. "Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."

27. "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops."

28. "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him (God who) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
32. "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."

33. "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

36. "And a man's foes (enemy) shall be they of his own household."
37. "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
38. "And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me."
39. "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
40. "He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
 
This ends the "treasures" that I found in "The Book of Matthew".

Please study them carefully, for they are food for your soul on our path of "Discipleship".

Who Are We As Christians? Part 9

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 8

Hebrews Chapter 11:

1. "NOW faith is the substance (assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

2. "For by it (faith) the elders obtained (won) a good report."

3. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

5. "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."

6. "But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

7. "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."

8. "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went (where he was going)."

9. "By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:"

13. "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen afar off, and were persuaded (convinced) of them, and embraced them, and confessed (admitted) that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."

16. "But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."

39. "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:"

40. "God having provided (foreseen) some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect (complete)."

Hebrews Chapter 12:

1. "WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin, which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"

2. "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

3. "For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."

4. "Ye have not resisted unto blood, striving against sin."

5. "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:"

6. "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth (corrects), and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."

7. "If ye endure chastening (corrects), God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?"

8. "But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers (a part), then are ye bastards (illegitimate), and not sons."

9. "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection (submission) unto the Father of spirits, and live?"

10. "For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure (according to their own judgment); but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness."

11. "Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward, it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised (trained) thereby."

12. "Wherefore lift (strengthen) the hands which hang down, and the feeble (weak) knees;"

13. "And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed."

14. "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."

15. "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;"

16. "Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person (God-dishonoring), as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright."

22. "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,"

23. "To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"

24. "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant (testament), and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel."

25. "See that ye refuse not him that speaketh, For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:"

28. "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:"

29. "For our God is a consuming (destroying) fire."
