we are the collective voice of God
Saturday
January 19th, Luke 3: 21 When all the people were being
baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice
came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well
pleased." In Luke, the bodily descent
of the dove as a representative of the Holy Spirit is meant to represent the
permanence and the physical presence of the Holy Spirit. It is not just some ethereal thing that is
here today and gone tomorrow, it is a real thing that is here today and here
tomorrow and the tomorrow after that and the tomorrow after that. Last Sunday I had the joy of baptizing my
twin grandchildren. As they were brought into the midst of the congregation
during a baptismal service, the people of the congregation came forward and there
hands are placed on these children, and then as this community said, “we welcome you to the Lord’s family; we receive you
as a fellow member of the Body of Christ and worker with us in the Kingdom of
God. We are the collective voice of God
saying, You are our children, whom we love; with you we are well pleased, and
with you we will journey through life together, brothers and sisters in Christ.
We welcome you as a fellow sojourner as we live out God’s calling for our lives
at this time through our combined ministries at Christ Our Savior Lutheran
Church.” God is there
with each of us as we are called to be with each and every baptized, Called,
Enlightened, Sanctified, for the work of Jesus Christ. And God is with us also, in our daily walk,
our journey guided by the love of Christ.

Satan has deceived the whole world until the woman of Rev 12 delivers the true word of God Rev 12:5. She is not a church, she is not Israel, and she is not Mary. She is the prophet like unto Moses and Elijah Matt 17:3, Acts 3:21-23, Luke 1:17 delivering the true word John 1:1 from the wilderness Rev 12:6 to prepare a people for the Lord’s return. God our Father will not put any child of his into a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer7:31, Jer 19:5. Turn your heart to the children of God. A gift is now delivered to the whole world as a witness Matt 24:14. http://minigoodtale.blogspot.com. A righteous judge gathers ALL evidence before making a judgment. If you are called to know the true word- Prove all things.
