(NKJV) Luke 4 20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"
23 He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.'"
24 Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, of Sidon, to a woman, a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
28 [b]So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath[/b], 29 [b]and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff[/b].
30 [b]Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way[/b]. 31 [b]Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths[/b]. 32 [b]And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority[/b].
Luke 5 16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. 17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that [b]there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of [u]the Lord was present to heal them[/u][/b].

(KJV) Luke 6 6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 10 And looking round about upon them all, [b]he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. [u]And he did so[/u]: and his hand was restored whole as the other[/b].
11 And [b]they were [u]filled[/u] with [u]madness[/u][/b]; and [b][u]communed[/u] one with another what [u]they [i]might[/i] do[/u] to Jesus[/b].
12 And it came to pass in those days, that [b]he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God[/b].

Here I Am [i]Chris Bowater
Chorus
Here I am, wholly available; As for me, I will serve the Lord. Here I am, wholly available; As for me, I will serve the Lord[/i].
The fields are white unto harvest But O, the lab'rers are so few, So Lord I give myself to help the reaping, To gather precious souls to You.
[i]Chorus[/i]
The time is right in the nation For works of power and authority; God's looking for a people who are willing, To be counted in His glorious victory.
[i]Chorus[/i]
As salt are we ready to savour, In darkness are we ready to be light, God's seeking out a very special people, To manifest His truth and His might.

(KJV) Luke 6:13 - 38 And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Simon, ([b]whom he also named Peter[/b],) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
[b]And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and[/b] the company of his disciples, [b]and[/b] a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came [b]to hear him, [u]and[/u] to be healed[/b] of their diseases; [b]and[/b] they that were vexed with unclean spirits: [b]and[/b] [u]they were healed[/u].
[b]And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, [u]and healed them all[/u][/b].
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: [b]for he is kind unto the unthankful [u]and[/u] to the evil[/b].
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; [b]good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again[/b].

| Re: Today, I'm praising God for... | | ... many spiritual and practical blessings... most of all, His presence and comfort, healing and hope.
(NKJV) Luke 6:41 - 44 "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.
For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush."
Majesty, worship His majesty;
unto Jesus be glory, honour and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority,
flows from His throne unto His own,
His anthem raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus,
magnify, come glorify, Christ Jesus the King.
majesty, worship His majesty,
Jesus who died, now glorified,
King of all kings.

| Re: Today, I'm praising God for ... | | ... continuing to restore me to wholeness and a sound mind, and for proving the work He has already done.
NKJV) Luke 7 1 Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. 3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, 5 "for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue."
6 - 8 Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!" 10 And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.
11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. 12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 [b]When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." [/b]14 [b]Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." [/b]15 [b]So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother[/b]. 16 Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people." 17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free! Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fulness over me! Underneath me, all around me, Is the current of Thy love-- Leading onward, leading homeward, To my glorious rest above!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus-- Spread His praise from shore to shore! How He loveth, ever loveth, Changeth never, nevermore! How He watches o'er His loved ones, Died to call them all His own; How for them He intercedeth, Watcheth o'er them from the throne!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Love of every love the best! 'Tis an ocean vast of blessing, 'Tis a haven sweet of rest! O the deep, deep love of Jesus-- 'Tis a heaven of heavens to me; And it lifts me up to glory, For it lifts me up to Thee!

| Re: Today, I'm praising God for ... | | ... renewed energy and motivation to pursue His will with my will, and for revelation of what it means to give Him His heart's desire.
(NKJV) Luke 7 Then He [Jesus] turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; [b]you gave Me no water for My feet[/b], but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped with the hair of her head. 45 "[b]You gave Me no kiss[/b], but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 "[b]You did not anoint My head with oil[/b], but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 "[b][u]Therefore[/u][/b] I say to you, [b]her sins[/b], many, [b]are forgiven[/b], for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little." 48 [b]Then [u]He[/u] said to her, "[u]Your sins are forgiven[/u][/b]." 49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 [b]Then He said to the woman, "[u]Your faith has saved you. Go in peace[/u][/b]."
Luke 8 1 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. [b]And the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women[/b] who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities -- Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, [b]and many others who provided for Him from [u]their substance[/u][/b]. 4 And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: ...
18 [b]Therefore take heed [u]how[/u] you hear[/b]. For whoever has, to him will be given; [i][u]and[/u] whoever does not have, even what he [u]seems[/u] to have will be taken from him[/i]."
19 Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You." 21 But He answered and said to them, "[b]My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it[/b]."
King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be; Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary.
[i]Refrain
Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.[/i]
Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.
[i]Refrain[/i]
Let me like Mary, through the gloom, Come with a gift to Thee; Show to me now the empty tomb, Lead me to Calvary.
[i]Refrain[/i]
May I be willing, Lord, to bear Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me.
[i]Refrain[/i]
Fill me, O Lord, with Thy desire For all who know not Thee; Then touch my lips with holy fire To speak of Calvary.

| Re: Today, I'm praising God for... | | ... more healing and the sense of being established in His will.
(NKJV) Luke 8 49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher." 50 But when Jesus heard, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."
51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "[b]Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."
[/b]53 [b]And they ridiculed Him, [u]knowing[/u] that she was dead[/b]. 54 But He put them all outside, [b]took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise." [/b]55[b] Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given to eat[/b]. 56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
9:1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 And He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them." 6 So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
7 Now [b]Herod[/b] the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he [b]was perplexed[/b], because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9 Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?" [b]So he sought to [u]see[/u] Him[/b].
10 And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 [b]But when the multitudes knew, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, [u]and healed those who had need of healing[/u][/b].
Father, we love You, we worship and adore You, Glorify Your name in all the earth. Glorify Your name, glorify Your name, glorify Your name in all the earth.
Jesus, we love You, we worship and adore You; Glorify Your name in all the earth. Glorify Your name, glorify Your name, glorify Your name in all the earth.

| Re: Today, I'm praising God for ... | | ... encouragement and love from brethren in Christ, for practical progress and the Holy Ghost without whom I'd be a very sad person :-)
(NKJV) Luke 9 18 And it happened, as He was alone praying, His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who do the crowds say that I am?" 19 So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say one of the old prophets has risen again."
20 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said, "The Christ of God." 21 And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, "[b]The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day[/b]."
23 Then He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 [b]For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?[/b] 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His glory, and Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 [b]But they did not receive Him, because [u]His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem[/u][/b].
54 And when His disciples James and John saw they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 [b]For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them[/b]." And they went to another village.
57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, someone said to Him, "Lord, I will follow You wherever You go." 58 And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." 59 Then He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God." 61 And another also said, "Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go bid them farewell who are at my house." 62 But Jesus said to him, "[b]No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God[/b]."
My heart is fixed eternal God, Fixed on Thee, fixed on Thee, And my immortal choice is made, Christ for me! Christ for me! He is my Prophet, Priest and King, Who did for me salvation bring, And while I've breath I mean to sing: Christ for me! Christ for me!
In Him I see the Godhead shine; Christ for me! Christ for me! He is the Majesty Divine; Christ for me! Christ for me! The Father's well-beloved Son, Co-partner of His royal throne, Who did for human guilt atone; Christ for me! Christ for me!
In pining sickness or in health, Christ for me! Christ for me! In deepest poverty or wealth, Christ for me! Christ for me! And in that all-important day When I the trumpet call obey And pass from this dark world away, Christ for me! Christ for me!
Let others boast of heaps of gold, Christ for me! Christ for me! His riches never can be told; Christ for me! Christ for me! Your gold will waste and wear away! Your honours perish in a day; My portion never can decay: Christ for me! Christ for me!

| Re: Today, I'm praising God for ... | | ... fellowship with the Father and the Son, for being able to interface with eternity consciously and hear His word to my heart.
(NKJV) Luke 10:1 - 24
After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, [b]and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place [u]where He Himself was about to go[/u][/b].
Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go your way; [b]behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves[/b]. Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road. But [b]whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house.' And if [u]a son of peace[/u] is there, your peace will rest on it[/b]; if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. [b]And heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'[/b] But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 'The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.'
But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city. Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. [b]And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades[/b]. He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me."
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us [b][u]in Your name[/u][/b]." And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, [u]I [b]give[/b] you the authority[/u] to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, [b]but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven[/b]."
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. [b]Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight[/b]. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."
[b]Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, "Blessed the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen and to hear what you hear, and have not heard"[/b].
O Lamb of God, Thou wonderful sin-bearer, Hard after Thee, my soul doth follow on: As pants the hart for streams in deserts dreary, So pants my soul for Thee, Thou life-giving one;
[i]Chorus
At Thy feet I fall, yield Thee up my all; (repeat chorus - Hanford (Gabriel)) To suffer, live or die for my Lord crucified[/i].
I mourn, I mourn, the sin that drove Thee from me, And blackest darkness brought into my soul; Now I renounce th'accursed thing that hindered, And come once more to Thee to be made fully whole.
[i]Chorus[/i]
Descend the heavens, Thou whom my soul adoreth! Exchange Thy throne for my poor longing heart. For Thee, for Thee, I watch as for the morning; No rest or peace is mine from my Saviour apart.
[i]Chorus[/i]
Come, Holy Ghost, Thy mighty aid bestowing, Destroy the works of sin, the self, the pride, Burn, burn in me, my idols overthrowing, Prepare my heart for Him, for my Lord crucified.
[i]Words by C. Booth-Clibborn.
None of these tunes is quite perfect, but I hope you'll be blessed. The Lord will be, if you sing to Him[/i]. 8-)
