The DEAFENING SILENCE
Heavenly FATHER, we thank YOU for the times HE+ gave no answer at all to His+ accusers, as a Lamb led to the slaughter and as a sheep before his shearers is silent.
Worthy is the LAMB+... worthy is the LAMB+... worthy is the LAMB+ that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto HIM that sitteth on the throne and unto The LAMB+ for ever and ever. Amen.
The DEAFENING SILENCE
Heavenly FATHER, we thank YOU for the times HE+ gave no answer at all to His+ accusers, as a Lamb led to the slaughter and as a sheep before his shearers is silent.

3rd HOUR MORNING PRAYER
This series of Lenten / Passover Meditations will reflect the 3rd Hour Prayer ( 9 a.m. ) Station observed by the Early Christians.
Today, many liturgical churches continue to observe these ancient prayer hours. They were based upon the prayer hours in the Temple in Jerusalem.
The Morning Prayer came at the time of the Morning Sacrifice in the Temple, the very time that The LORD JESUS was nailed to the Cross. Here is the first stanza.
3RD HOUR MORNING PRAYER
Heavenly FATHER, we come before YOU at this 3rd hour of the ancient day, the hour of the Morning Sacrifice in the Temple . . . that same hour that Your Beloved SON+, the LAMB+ of GOD that taketh away the sin of the world, was offered up on the Cross for our sakes.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of GOD.
Matthew 5:9
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 thereby. Hebrews 12:11
HEBREWS 12: 5 - 10
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of HIM: 12:5
For whom the LORD loveth HE chasteneth, and scourgeth every son
whom HE receiveth. 12:6
Hebrews 12:3
For consider HIM+ that endured such contradiction* of sinners against HIMSELF+, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
* Contradiction of sinners: Mat10:24-25, Mat11:19, Mat12:24, Mat15:2, Mat21:15-16, Mat21:23, Mat21:46, Mat22:15; Luk2:34 *Gr: Luk4:28-29, Luk5:21, Luk11:15-16, Luk11:53-54, Luk13:13-14, Luk14:1, Luk15:2, Luk16:14, Luk19:39; Luk19:40; Joh5:16, Joh7:12, Joh8:13, Joh8:48-49, Joh8:52, Joh8:59, Joh9:40, Joh10:20, Joh10:31-39, Joh12:9; Joh12:10, Joh15:18-24, Joh18:22
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. HEBREWS 12:4
The Broken Image
And GOD אֱלֹהִ֔ים [ The ELOHIM ] said,
Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness:
We ALL want to be humble , like CHRIST.
We DON’T want to be humiliated , like CHRIST.
How do we learn humility ?
Humility , that wonderful virtue of CHRIST, draws us to HIMSELF+ . That virtue is what makes us NOT afraid to come to CHRIST with our soiled, messed-up, sin-filled lives. HE+ does indeed receive us “just as I am.”
FOR the JOY SET BEFORE HIM+ :
HE+ Kept a CLEAR Eye

The Great Day of THE LORD
Malachi 4
For, behold, the DAY cometh,
that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea,
and all that do wickedly,
shall be stubble:
“ HE+ (JESUS) removed the darkness from my face.”
AT great cost to HIMSELF+ and to our FATHER in Heaven, The LORD JESUS became incarnate to bring us TRUTH.
Wonderful TRUTH here !
The BODY of CHRIST, the Flock of GOD, is nourished in every part, in every instance, and in every way by holding onto THE HEAD+ Who+ is CHRIST JESUS our LORD.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a CHILD+ is born, unto us a SON+ is given: and the government shall be upon His+ Shoulder: and His+ Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Ever-lasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
For unto us a CHILD+ is born,
unto us a SON+ is given:
This Prophetic Scripture does not state that a “child is given”. This Prophetic Scripture does not state that a “son is born.”
John 3:17
For GOD sent not HIS SON+
into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through HIM+ might be saved.And being found in FASHION AS A MAN . . . HE+ dwelt among us , that is, HE+ tabernacled , HE+ took upon His+ DIVINE SELF an earthly, temporary TENT of human skin.

1 Kings 8:54 - 56
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD,
he arose from before the altar of the LORD,
from kneeling on his knees
with his hands spread up to Heaven.
8:55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
8:56 Blessed be the LORD, WHO hath given rest
unto HIS people Israel,
according to all that HE promised:
there HATH NOT FAILED ONE WORD
. . . Liberty from ALL those things which tempt us to be NOT like CHRIST JESUS.
Isaiah 61:1
The SPIRIT of the Lord GOD
[ The SPIRIT of the ADONAI+ YHWH ]
is upon ME+;
Hebrews 2:16-18
For verily HE+ took not on HIM+ the nature of angels;
but HE+ took on HIM + the seed of Abraham.
