God bless you & your family!!
My blue wax koala from the SA zoo was such a a treasure for me. Good encouragement to create the habit of prayer.
Mathew West your music has got me through some dark times. Thank you. My very favorite is mended. I play it often for folks who are trying to get clean and sober and deal with treating thier mental health. It's a wonderful example of how we see ourselves vs how God sees and loves us. A lot of my journey has been recovering from SRA abuse. Now I help others.

Good afternoon😊❤
now in Christ.
Before meant to say this...
"Good morning 😊❤in Christ 😊❤now it is 11:11 A.M in Christ when i open my eyes and i need to finish Jesus' 12 first disciples or Jesus' twelve(12) apostles then head to Old Testament in Christ. Now up to John the fouth one in Matthew10:1-4( The Twelve Apostles) which is easier to post Matthew 10:1-4 or to post also the following too also in Christ for a reason in Christ?
4.John (😊❤) his( James') brother(Matthew 10:2b)
Mark 3:17( " John the brother of James")
In Mark 3:16
"16 He( Jesus😊1st❤) appointes the twelve: Simon ( to whom he gave the name Peter); 17 James the sons of Zebedee and
John 😊❤
the brother
of James( to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Son of Thunder); "( Mark 3:16-17, John😊❤
is recognized for his love😊❤ for Jesus too and Mattthew the author focused more on Peter😊❤ in the book of Matthew its audience is also Jewish at his time in Christ and Jesus gave John a named
In Mark 3:17b
"...James( to whom he( Jesus😊1st❤) gave the name
Boanerges, that is, Son of Thunder); "( Mark 3:17b ESV Study so John the brother of James ( Mark 3:1b or middle of the verse) and( to whom Jesus gave the name Boanerges, that is, Son of Thunder) John is also Son of thunder and has love too. It's very interesting when we read God's word that Peter and John always competing for Jesus' love. Peter is the rock and pillar of the church too( he always rush into doing thing but love by Jesus too) and John is the love and Son of Thunder for Jesus gave the name
Boanerges, that is, Son of Thunder). Jesus understands them( Peter and John or John and Peter ) both in Christ and I also can both too in Christ. everyone has something Jesus named them both for Simon(Rock) become Cephas means Peter.
And for John, Jesus gave the name Boanerges, that is, Son of Thunder( Do not mess with the Son of Thunder) in Christ :) yet both of them are loved by Jesus, both came from fishmen families. Both are men. Both are according to Matthew 10:2 or Matthew 10:1-4( The Twelve Apostles) so both( Peter and John ) were first Apostles too in Christ Jesus. Do you remember how when Jesus was nailing on the cross for humanity's sins that Jesus called to John to take care his mother Mary? John 19:25-27 now openning from NIV.
"25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,
here is your son,”
27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home." ( John 19:25-27 NIV)
Also John 19:28
For you sake i will open John 19:28-30(The Death of Jesus) and John 19:31-37( Jesus' side is pierced)
John 19:28-30(The Death of Jesus)
"28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.
30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."( NIV)
John 19:31-37( Jesus' side is pierced)
"31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.
33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.
36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”
37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.” "( John 19:31-37 NIV)
5. Philip(😊❤) (Matthew 10:3a)

6Bartholomew(😊❤) (Matthew 10:3a)
7.Thomas(😊❤)
(Matthew 10:3a or middle of the verse)
8 Matthew(😊❤) the tax collector(Matthew 10:3a or middle of the verse)
9. James(😊❤)

10. Thaddaeus(😊❤)(Matthew 10:3b)
11.
Simon(😊❤)

Matthew 10:16-25( Persecution will come)
"16 " Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synogogues,
18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witiness before them and the Gentiles.
19 When they deliver you over,
do not
be anxious how you
(😊❤

❤😊
❤😊
❤us)
to speak 😊❤ or what you( "you" or today we 😊❤ in Christ)
are to say, for what you are to say will be given😊❤ to you( you or us in Christ) in that hour.
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit( the good Holy Spirit😊❤) of your Father( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) speaking 😊❤ through 😊❤ you(😊❤😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤).
21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and
22 and
you( you or we) will be hated by all for my name( Jesus'😊1st❤)'s sake.
But the one😊❤ who endures to the end will be saved😊❤.
23 When
they( " they")
persecute you( "you" or to us today) in one town,
flee to next, for truly😊❤ I say to you(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man( " Son of Man" = Jesus😊1st❤) comes.
24 " A disciple😊❤
is not above his teacher,
nor a servant above his master( Jesus😊1st❤).
25 It is enough for a disciple 😊❤
to be like😊❤ his teacher😊❤, and the servant 😊❤
like his master( Jesus😊1st❤
).
If they have called the master( "Master" = My master is Jesus😊1st❤) of the house Beelzebul( no good), how much more will they malign those of his(Jesus') household." ( Matthew 10:16- 25 ESV Study Bible , Do you remember of Luke 11:14-23(Jesus😊1st❤ and Beelzehul( no good)) and Amen to Luke 11:20 😊❤
) in Jesus'name, i pray for you. Amen.
Give us another angle in Christ to look at the same Scripture from Luke the Biblical doctor in Christ in Luke 11:14-23(Jesus😊1st❤ and Beelzehul( no good)) and Amen to Luke 11:20 😊❤ in Christ😊❤ and I trust the Prince of Peace( Isaiah 9:6b) in Christ.
Luke 11:20
" 20But if it is the finger of God(😊100%❤) that I cast out demons, then the kingdom😊❤ of God(😊100%❤ or God's kingdom😊❤) has come upon you

Luke 11:14-20
"14 Now he was casting out a demon that was a mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.
15 But
some of them said, " He casts out demons by Beelzehul, the prince of demons, "
16 While others, to test him( Jesus😊1s5❤= Isaiah 53:5b= Prince of Peace😊❤), keep seeking from him( Jesus😊1st❤) a sign from heaven.
17 But he(Jesus😊1st❤), knowing their thoughts, said to them,
" Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?
For you
say that
I cast out demon by Beelzehul( no good).
19 And If I cast out demons by Beelzehul( no good), by whom do your sons cast them out?
Therefore they will be your judges.
20But if it is the finger of God(😊100%❤) that I cast out demons, then the kingdom😊❤ of God(😊100%❤ or God's kingdom😊❤) has come upon you

( Luke 10:20 ESV Study Bible)
21 When a stronger man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his good are safe;
22 but when a stronger than he attacks him and overcome him, he take away his armor in which he trusted and divided his spoil.
( Jesus said.)
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."( Luke 11:14-23 ESV Study Bible)

(Have no fear)
" 26 So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be reveled, or hidden that will not be known.
27 What I tell in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaimed on the housetops.
28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrow sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father( God, our Father in heaven).
30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Don't worry about how long it takes to read the Bible through because it's important that you read and let it soak in than to read so can make a check on your page for that. Also it's funny that today at work I was thinking about how reading the Bible is alot like learning music, there's always more to learn you never learn it all
It’s 40 degrees in Wisconsin all is well here.
Jesus😊1st❤said in red words in Christ Matthew 10:39
"39 Whoever find his life will lose it, and whoever😊❤ loses his life for my sake will find it😊❤."( Matthew 10:39 Zondervan NIV Study Bible

a daughter against her mother,
a daughter- in - law against her mother- in- law-

Matthew 10:26-33( Have no fear) ESV)
Genesis 24:50-67
"50 The Laban and Bethuel answered and said,
" The things has come from the LORD😊❤
; we cannot speak to you bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before you,; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son( Isaac), as the LORD😊❤ has spoken."
Pause in Genesis 24:50-51 said, " The thing has come from the LORD😊❤... as the LORD has spoken."( Genesis 24:50a to Genesis 24:51b ESV Study Bible)
" Rebekah'a brother ( Laban) and father ( Bethuel) acknowledge that the providential nature of all that has taken place convincingly indicates that Rebekah should become Isaac's wife. This is clearly God's will."( ESV Study Bible)
Now back to Genesis 24:52-67.
"52 When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the Lord.
53 And the servant brougut out jerwelry of silver and gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.
54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he( the servant😊❤
of Abraham😊❤) said,
"Send me away to my master."
58 And they called Rebekah and said to her, " Will you go with this man?" She said, " I will go."
59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her,
" Our sister, may you become the thousand of ten thousands,
and may your offspring possess the gate of those who hate him! "
61 Then Rebekah and her young women arose and rode on the camels and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah and went his way.
62 Now Isaac😊❤ had returned from the Beer-lahai- roi and was dwelling in the Negeb.
63 And Isaac went out to mediate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw and behold, there were cames coming.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel
65 and said to the servant, " Who is that man, walking in the field to meet us?
The servant said, " It is my master."
So she took her veil and covered herself.
66 And the servant 😊❤
told Isaac😊❤ all the things that he had done.
67 Then Isaac brought her
into the tent
of Sarah his mother😊❤ and took Rebekah, and she became his wife and he loved her. So Isaac was conforted after his mother's death( remembering or Genesis 23:1-20, Sarah's death and burial)."( Genesis 24:50-67 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 24:67 middle verse said, "...and she became his( Isaac's) wife..."( Genesis 24:67 b or middle of the verse" " This is another key event leading toward to fulfillment of the promise to make of Abraham a great nation."( ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 24:67b or middle of the verse said, "... she( Rebekah ) become his( Isaac's ) wife) and he loved her. ..."
When you( those single men in Christ) get marry one day, you will too love your own wife in Christ. Remind me about Ephesians 6:25-33 😊❤
, how husbands should love their own wives in Christ Jesus
. A man loves your own wife in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray ( Ephesians 5:25-33😊❤) Amen.
