the Pattern of 7's for the SALVATION... The Armor of God
Therefore, stand! Have the belt of truth buckled around your waist, put on righteousness for a breastplate, and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of shalom. Always carry the shield of trust, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. And take the helmet of deliverance; along with the sword given by the Spirit, that is, the Word of God; as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and requests, in the Spirit, vigilantly and persistently, for all God’s people. Eph 6:14-18 CJSB
Belt/Truth--We gird up our core with TRUTH... we memorize verses of Scripture to battle the onslaught of lies that are constantly flung at us in this world.
Breastplate/Righteousness--Our heart must be pure before the LORD...
Shoes/Gospel.Peace--Wherever we go we bring the Gospel of Peace with us...
Shield/Faith--The Adversary will aim at destroying our Faith... we must hold fast to what we know is True about the LORD and our Salvation.
Helmet/Salvation--Our mind is also under attack in our world... being very sure of our Salvation will keep us grounded.
Sword/Word--The Word of God is our offensive weapon... we use God's very words to battle the lies of the Adversary.
All Prayer/Spirit--I include All kinds of Prayer in the Spirit as the final, and maybe the most powerful weapon in the spirit realm.
Line up the days of the week with the Main Isaiah 11:2 Pattern. (See Days in pull-down menu). Then we add the The Word Pattern of 7's for this week as well...

BERIT (Covenant) - G.R.A.C.E.
There are five points of covenant that we use in this study and they can be related in this order...
Who What How Why Where/When ...all a very loose description that will be more clear as we go.
We will explore our next Covenant Pattern of 5's ... and I hope the beauty will become obvious. For this week, our Pattern of Covenant 5's is: G.R.A.C.E.
(Nature) God - (Who)
(Word) Righteousness- (What)
(Name) All in All - (How)
(Blood) Covenant - (Why)
(Spirit) Eternity - (Where/When)
Make note of the Covenants that God makes as you are reading through your Bible.

4 Plan - “For God so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.

5 Life.LightLove - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

Quiet Time Get your Journal and ponder S.I.M.P.L.I.C.I.T.Y.... the concept and verses above... do you need more simplicity in your day-to-day so you can incorporate more S.I.M.P.L.I.C.I.T.Y.? Can you feel the growth in your spirit?
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
Week 16- Day5Thursday, April 17, 2025 Daily Reading 1 Kings 12-13
Hebrew Alef-Bet - Mazzarot - STP
Mazzarot (Constellations)(Zodiak) for this week is still the sign of the Lamb - Aries (we consult with the Maker of the Stars, not the sign). It tells that there will be Glory from Humiliation in the Gospel in the Stars.
The Ancient Hebrew view of Mazzarot-The Lamb of God Proclaims Liberty
Seasons - Times - Purpose (STP)
See THURSDAY under the Days Menu for the Ecclesiastes 3 list of STP... there are 28 of them. What Season/Times/Purpose do you find yourself in Today? What Promises can you hold onto from your Father to get you through the hard ones? How can you Praise Him for the easy ones?

Have a Thankful Thursday!
Week 16 - Day6Friday, April 18, 2025 Daily Reading 1 Kings 14-16
CHILDREN in Christ... 5 Salvation
The Parable of the Sower (see Menu) talks about the SEED (the Word of God) that goes into stony soil and it doesn't get deep roots. So when life gets rough, they fall away from the LORD. The Soil is the heart of a person. Children need to get God's Word into their heart to produce good soil (a heart that hungers and thirsts for Him) for that SEED (the Word) to deeply take root in. The Word is the milk... so drink up! Make the soil of your heart rich!
Remember that... The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. Ps 19:8 NLT
Have you received His Joy in your heart?
For our Jewish cousins, sundown tonight is the beginning of Sabbath that will continue all day tomorrow until sundown. Shabbat Shalom! (Sabbath of Peace).
Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time You know what to do!
Have a Fantastic Friday!
Week 16 - Day7Saturday, April 19, 2025 Daily Reading PSALM BOOK 2: Chapters 58-61
SABBATH - 4 Salvation
Our Psalm 119 Word to ponder is
5 -JUDGMENTS (23 times)
mishpat (H4941) - a verdict, a sentence, de5ree, divine law
translated 'judgments'...
I have chosen the Way of Faithfulness: Your judgments have I laid before me. Ps 119:30 ONMB
How do you Honor the Sabbath and Keep it Holy (set apart for God)?
“Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God. You have six days to labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work ... For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day He rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for Himself. Ex 20:8-11 CJSB abbreviated
Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time
Reflect - Ponder - Praise - Gather - Worship - Rest ... However you are led to celebrate.
Your Father loves you!
Have a Sacred Saturday!
