Kingdom Mystery
Gospel of Mark Ch 4 v- 10 thru 12
10 And when he was alone, those present along with the Twelve questioned him about the parables. 11 He answered them, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, 12 so that ‘they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.’”
Today I will share with you what all what this parable discussion means by the words of Christ himself from the Gospel of John Chapter 12 versus 37 through 43. I pray for your understanding as God calls from those who are surrendered to the Lord’s peace. The Kingdom has been granted to you by your practice, prayer and proclamation of living Him First in Jesus by your love, faith and hope of His mercy living Redeemed!
37 “Although he had performed so many signs in their presence they did not believe in him,38 in order that the word which Isaiah the prophet spoke might be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed our preaching, to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?” 39 For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said: 40 “He blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not see with their eyes and understand with their heart and be converted, and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke about him. 42 Nevertheless, many, even among the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge it openly in order not to be expelled from the synagogue. 43 For they preferred human praise to the glory of God.”
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty we pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. Silence for the prayers of others. In the Holy Spirit we pray brothers in Kairos the men in blue especially a prayer for Howard Richmond. We pray for Holy Mother Church. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

08-14-2022 Mark’s Gospel Ch 4 v-1012
**Kingdom Mystery**
Explaining alone was He
Parable questioning twelve indeed
The He answered to free
Truly God’s Kingdom Mystery
You granted mystery keep
Outside get parables speak
Perceive not what they see look
Listen and hear but understand not without the Good Book
Actions complete
Conversion not
Forgiveness seek
God forgot
