"For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater greater works than these, that ye may marvel." (John 5:20 KJV)
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us; through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having a high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Hebrews 10:19-22 KJV)
I really love reading the KJV, as it does not explain every little detail; which then allows our minds to be stretched, as we work out the meaning, sometimes personal, from every bit of what is being said. I can't help but imagine the writing of these words, (speaking of Hebrews,) how that, if this was written by Paul, it was most likely written from prison, while he was in Rome, and while he was thinking about his fellow countrymen; especially his fellow Pharisees. Just sayin!
I've already told you my thoughts on that matter: I think there were three of them, sitting around for days, sharing the spectacular moving of God's hand through His-Story! You can only know how that might be possible, by having experienced it yourself; as I did when I was locked down and had hours to share God's word with two brothers in Christ. There is never enough that can be said, as you sit and speak of all the wonderful things that God has done, in and throughout this amazing story.
I pray that we are equipped with a readiness and boldness, more than anything, and more than anytime before! It is God that wants to speak, and He needs those of us that are prepared to step forward, who have been able to have dealt with the shame, been instill with the vision, and have prepared their hearts to face whatever might happen! This is time to soldier up and open our mouths: God needs to speak!
Anywho; sorry for seeming a little anxious, but I will blame it on global warming; because I think it is about to get a little hot in the kitchen. As my mom use to say, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" Maybe I need to do a little less thinking, and start doing a whole lot more praying...
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised; and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:23-27 KJV)
