Close Is The Answer
CLOSE IS THE ANSWER! - July 10. Psalm 73:28 “But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.” Psalm 16:8 “I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 119:151 “You are near, O LORD, And all Your commandments are truth.” Jeremiah 23:23 “‘Am I a God who is near,’ declares the LORD, ‘And not a God far off?’” Acts 17:27 “...that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;” Hebrews 10:22 “let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” James 4:8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." I Can Know A Lot About Someone And Even Know Them Extremely Well; But, How Well Do I Know Them If I’ve Never Been To Their Home? You’re Not Going To Israel Today, So How Can You See God Up Close? The Garden of Gethsemane: My Human Body - WOW! Tourist Thing - This is where jesus was. Pictures. The Divine Spirit Of Jesus Is In Me Too! Holy Spirit Returning To The Scene Of The Crime - Holy Spirit In Me Has Already Been Here. Holy Spirit Comes In Too. What is He feeling? The Scene of His Suffering And Betrayal. Judas. If I COULD JUST SEE HIS FACE: THREE FACES OF JESUS UP CLOSE Matt. 26:36-38 “Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ 37And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.” 38”Then He said to them, ‘My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.’” Luke 22:44 “And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.” His Face of AGONY. "mental suffering" "anguish, terror, death agony" “a (mental) struggle for victory,” Originally: "a struggle for victory in the games," A Sense of "extreme bodily suffering" Matt. 26:39 “And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, ‘My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.’” His Face of SURRENDER. Matt. 26:45-46 “Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” His Face Of RESOLVE.
