Verily, verily, I+ say unto you,
Except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground and die,
it abideth alone:
but if it die,
it bringeth forth much fruit.
JOHN 12:24
+ + +
The LORD JESUS knew HE+ was the Bread of Life, the true Manna sent down from Heaven.
HE+ knew HE+ was the Living Bread that would sustain us in Life.
Furthermore, HE+ was the ONLY Bread given that COULD nourish the Flock of GOD.

And JESUS
answered them, saying,
The hour is come,
that the SON+ of Man
should be glorified.
JOHN 12:23
Literal Greek: The hour has come in order that The SON+ of Man should be glorified.
HE+ went not to the left nor to the right.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
in the sure and certain HOPE
of the RESURRECTION unto ETERNAL LIFE
through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
at Whose+ Coming in Glorious Majesty will judge the world; and the corruptible bodies of those who sleep in HIM+ shall be changed, and made like unto His+ Glorious Body; according to the mighty working whereby HE+ is able to subdue all things unto Himself+.
ASH WEDNESDAY is the beginning of the traditional 40-day Lenten Fast in Preparation for the GREAT and FINAL PASSOVER.
It begins today, on the traditional observance of Valentine’s Day.
On Valentine’s Day, it is nice to remember others and express our love for them to them. Who doesn’t like to receive those sweet endearments from others ?
But in our Expressions of Love to our loved ones, let us not neglect to express our Love for JESUS CHRIST Who+ died for us . . . because HE+ loved us.
Let us remember His+ days of heart-preparation HE+ made as HE+ set His+ Face to go to Jerusalem for His+ Crucifixion.
The inner battle HAD to be agonizing, as His+ prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane reveal. For HE+ knew what suffering awaited His+ Flesh.
His+ GREATEST Temptation may have been this:
MM’s VISION:
Sent to me on December 20, 2023 by a tried and true CHRISTIAN whom I cherish and trust, having witnessed this one’s Walk with CHRIST JESUS as LORD through the years:
From MM:
Recently I had a vision:
I was looking down through a huge crater in the earth.
I could see Jerusalem and the countries around it.
ISRAEL ! YOU ARE NOT ALONE !
HE watching over ISRAEL slumbereth not nor sleepeth.
Seven days of FASTING on water during Western Christianity’s “Twelve Days of Christmas” were observed this year by a serious-minded Filipino pastor, Brother Rodelio Mallari, and his translation team.
Furthermore, It is a bi-annual FAST, he said, for him and his team. So twice a year, this water-fast occurs. [ Seems very likely that this church does not need to hold special “revival” services since the HOLY SPIRIT is already at work among them during this dedicated, serious water- FAST. ]
This same church, with only 70 active members, takes the Call to Evangelize very seriously.
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 Everlasting FATHER, The PRINCE+ of Peace.
A CHILD+ is born for us from His+ earthly Mother, but The Only-Begotten SON+ of GOD is given to us by Our Heavenly FATHER.
LUKE 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the City of David a SAVIOR+, Which is CHRIST THE LORD.
… Who+ is the BREAD+ of LIFE, born in Beth- Lehem, The House of Bread.
We no longer need a Heavenly Host to tell us the SIGN+ of the Times;
HE+ has already been given to us.
What have we done with that Divine, Celestial SIGN+
this Christmas ?
O Come, O LIGHT+ into this world of sin
Bring Cleansing and Salvation in
to hearts that only evil molds
and rescue them whom satan holds.
Here is a daily Scripture reading for family devotions. The Prophecy of the Coming Messiah+ is given first , followed by the fulfillment seen in the New Testament. This shows that The LORD GOD always fulfills His Word unto man. Whether we understand it or not, The WORD of the LORD will always be fulfilled. It is ALWAYS true.
WEEK THREE ~ 3rd Sunday, DECEMBER 17 ~ Church and Sunday School remembrance of His+ Coming to Save us from our Sins.
.NOTE: Week 4 is Christmas week; there will be no Advent readings after this week. ADVENT ends on Monday, December 25, Christmas day.
HAVE YOU ENTERED
INTO THAT GREAT EXCHANGE
?
His+ Peace for your problems . . . His+ Healing for your hurt . . . His+ Wholeness for your broken parts. . . His+ JOY for your sorrow . . .
His+ JOY-FILLED BIRTH into human form BROUGHT to us --- YES , to you, to me --- His+ PEACE, His+ HEALING, His+ WHOLENESS, and His+ ABUNDANT JOY.
That is why countless MYRIADS of the Heavenly Host appeared, praising GOD and saying , “GLORY TO GOD in the HIGHEST and PEACE , GOODWILL toward MEN ! “
This world is TEMPORARY. Yet distress seems extremely long-lasting and SO FULL OF HURT as we try so hard to control things for our own happiness.
I+ am come a LIGHT into the world,
that whosoever believeth on ME+
should not abide in darkness.
JOHN 12:46
+ + +
Have we chosen HIS+ LIGHT ? In all areas of our life, even in the dark corners tucked away inside of us ?

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 Everlasting FATHER, The PRINCE+ of PEACE.
The Great Exchange took place at His+ Birth as The LORD JESUS
CHRIST set into motion the ageless plan of The ELOHIM to Redeem mankind. [ See: ADVENT 2023 ~ #1 The Great Exchange https://goingdeeperwithchrist.blogspot.com/2023/12/advent-2023-1-great-exchange-john-133-5.html ]
Since the time of Abraham, the ancient people of GOD looked forward to the coming of the MESSIAH+, their deliverer.
JESUS knowing that
The FATHER had given all things into His+ hands,
and that HE+ was
COME FROM GOD, and went to GOD;

We DO know it is a HOLY DAY because of the out-pouring of glorious praise of the Holy Angels of GOD in the Heavens, appearing before men , even though the exact date may be questionable.

PROPHETIC TIME-TABLE: WHAT is Happening NOW ?
This wild, spiritual monster of a beast ALWAYS retains his 7 heads and 10 horns . . . but the location of the DIADEM CROWNS shifts in Revelation 13:1.
Today is ALL SAINTS' DAY in which the Christians who lived as martyrs and died as martyrs --- and who , because of their dedication to The LORD JESUS , caused others to give THANKS TO THE LORD --- were remembered and honored.
FROM ALL PALM READERS
. . . . from the dark Occult world and from the darker world of Commercial Identity Technology
Galatians 6:8
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the SPIRIT
shall of the SPIRIT reap life everlasting.

Dear Conscientious Brethren in CHRIST, these are SERIOUS words written by the Apostle Paul . . . to the worldlings ?
NO. They are written to the followers of JESUS in the Body of CHRIST.
To find out, we must go to the GREEK BYZANTINE manuscripts and read this passage literally, word for word.
That means we must take the Greek words at face value with their given definitions. That is, we must clear away the interpretations of the translators and rely upon just the simple translation of the words.
What happened at His+ ASCENSION
that had NEVER happened
before HE+ returned to THE FATHER
in His+ Wounded, Slain, Buried, Resurrected, and Glorified Body ?
Therefore doth My+ FATHER love ME+,
because I+ , I+ lay down My+ Life,
that I+ might take it again.
John 10:17
1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
CHRIST our PASSOVER+
is sacrificed for us:
And it came to pass, when the time was come that HE+ should be received up, HE+ stedfastly set His+ face to go to Jerusalem, Luke 9:51
The LORD JESUS CHRIST’S FIRST Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem began with glorious praises filling the air.
But it ended in His+ weeping over Jerusalem. GOD’S Ancient people refused to be set free from sin, hell, and the grave.
However, there is coming a DAY like No Other Day in which HIS+ TRIUMPH will be completed !
“ Silver and gold have I none,
BUT what I have, I give unto thee .
In the Name of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth,
RISE UP AND WALK ! ”
