"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

IN THE WAIT

In what may seem like 'time off' in between Part 2 and Part 3 of "EMBRACED...", it's not at all ... I actually am starting a new study at First 5 app (besides my regular Bible reading plans at You Version) ... I'm looking forward to the study of I & II Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Peter, and Jude starting July 22nd called:


"ALREADY, but NOT YET"

Already but Not Yet Experience Guide

{even considering getting this experience guide}

This is their description:

"How do you stay hopeful when today is so hard?
Right now, there’s a gap between your current circumstances and what you’ve prayed for God to do. Sometimes in the wait — maybe in the first few days or weeks — it’s easy to trust God with your prayers and have hope. But what about when those days and weeks turn into months and years? 
Whatever you're waiting on, we're here to find hope in the hard days alongside you. 
Join us in the First 5 app as we journey through 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Peter and Jude in the Already, but Not Yet study. And if you’re in the middle of a wait right now, the Experience Guide is the perfect tool for you to use to make your study even more personal and keep track of how God moves in your life each day throughout the 5-week study!"

Over this weekend, First 5 
shared a Weekend Teaching on
TRUST Issues
which is exactly how Part 3 begins in
"EMBRACED"
{worth checking out, it's audio}

and my first post of Part 3 will be on August 1st on this

meanwhile
why not give the First 5 app a try?
and dive into reading these books in the Bible

Curiously, I wanted to look into their title of this next study and found this:
"What is the concept of 'already but not yet'?"

Answer: The theological concept of “already but not yet” holds that believers are actively taking part in the kingdom of God, although the kingdom will not reach its full expression until sometime in the future. We are “already” in the kingdom, but we do “not yet” see it in its glory. The “already but not yet” theology is related to kingdom theology or inaugurated eschatology
