May 4, 2024 - A Discussion with James "JB" Brown and Pastor Tim Dilena - Times Square Church - Розваги
Preparation is never lost time”. My pastor would always say this!!!
🎉🎉🎉
Good soil😊❤ too in Christ here❤.
Mark 2:18-22
"18 Now John's( John😊❤
the Baptist's) disciples and Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ) why do John's disciples and
the disciples of the Pharisee fast,
but your( Jesus'😊1st❤) disciples do not fast? "
19 And Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them( in a parable in Christ),
" Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast."( ESV Study Bible)
Is Jesus your bridegroom too today?
I remember i said( say) Jesus (😊1st❤) my Lord and my savior in Christ is my number # 1 or 😊1st❤
in Christ and my wife in Christ #2 in Christ. Imagine you said that during your wedding ceremony in Christ in front many pastors and minsters in Christ with one index finger point up Jesus😊1st❤ and many people too witenessedour special day in Christ.😊❤ Today to me in Christ, is still the same to me in Christ.
My Jesus😊1st❤ grows with me and walks and grows within me over the years in Christ. Jesus makes my faith grow in him too in Christ.
My God(😊100%❤), our Father in heaven also grow bigger and bigger within me in Christ each day too in Christ also. He expands my horizon in Christ like faith upon higher faith😊❤ in Christ Jesus😊1st❤.
Grace 😊❤ upon grace😊❤
in Christ it grows within me and with Jesus😊1st❤
And mercy😊❤ upon mercy😊❤😊❤ too, it also grows in Christ and with Christ too😊❤.
It hard to fathom my God how majestic is He to us in Christ. God get bigger and bigger and it grows me to know to know& trust Him more and trust more and more each day in Christ completely depend on God and Jesus for everything in Christ. My Faith in God(😊100%❤)
and trust in Jesus😊1st❤ grow deeper and deeper each day with God(😊100%❤) in Christ. I see God's grace 😊❤ in me in Christ
in a total higher ways or eyes of faith lenses in Christ.
Anyways, enough about me in Christ. My question: How deep is our( your ) spirituality in Christ? How is your relationship with Jesus😊1st❤ today in Christ?
Back to Mark 2:20-22
"20 The days will come when the bridegroom( imply Jesus😊1st❤) is taken away from them, and
then
they will fast in that day."( ESV Study Bible)
( just like today for some of us in Christ also sometimes too fast in Christ for a good cause in Christ)
" 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment.
If he does, the patch tears away from it,
the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
22 And no one put new wine into old wineskins.
If he does, the wine will burst the skins- and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine for fresh wineskins." "( Mark 2:20-22 ESV Study Bible above and Mark 2:18-22 ESV Study Bible above all in all in Christ and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ & sharing also meant in and for Christ Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ.
Does God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) also grows with you in Christ as you grow in more and more faith( trust😊❤) in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ with Him too each too?
How is your relationship with Jesus😊1st❤ today? I walk with God and have a very deep and very-close relationship with Jesus(😊1st❤ ). What about you❤ today?
Praise God for Jesus' blood❤ and ptL and thank you for sharing. Revelation 19:16😊❤.
Genesis 44:1-5 of Genesis 44:1-34( Joseph 😊❤
Tests His Brothers😊❤'s
)
Genesis 44:1-5
" 44 Then he commanded the steward of his house,
" Fill the men's sack with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack,
2 and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest( Benjamin), with his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph told him.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys.
4 They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his steward, " Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ' Why have you repaid evil for good?
5 It is not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination( do not practice divination today for those in Christ. Thank you :)) ?
You have done evil in doing this' " "? ( Genesis 44:1-5 ESV Study Bible)
Luke 4:8😊❤
"8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan),
" It is written,
" ' You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible. Jesus quoted from Old Testament Scripture because when satan or devil ( no good) tried to tempted Jesus with power and authority and their glory
From Luke 4:5-7( this temptation) break the first commandment from Exodus 20:3 within the ten commandments(from Exodus 20:1-21( The Ten commandments)so that Exodus 20:3 said,
"3 You shall have no other gods before me."( Exodus 20:3 ESV Study Bible) Therefore from Luke 4:8 again,
Luke 4:8
"8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan),
" It is written,
" ' You shall worship
the Lord your God(😊❤)
,
and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible.)
This means "Jesus replies that worship😊❤ belongs to the Lord your God alone. "( ESV Study Bible.)
This temptation( from Matthew 4:5-7 from satan) to Jesus our savior in Christ break the first commandment( from Exodus 20:3😊)
) so our Lord Jesus(😊1st❤) replied to satan in Luke 4:8 that worship belongs to
the Lord your God(😊❤) alone.
Now end this sharing with Luke 4:8 again,
Luke 4:8
"8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan),
" It is written,
" ' You shall worship
the Lord your God(😊❤)
,
and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible.)
Newer version in Christ.
Mark 1:16-20(Jesus😊1st❤ calls❤ the first disciples❤❤❤❤)
"16 Passing alongside of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon( or later on will be called Peter😊❤
) and Andrew😊❤
the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus(😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ ) said to them,
" Follow me😊❤, and I will make you become fishers of men."( " fishers of men"😊❤😊❤ from Mark 1:17b😊❤
)
18 And immediately ( Mark's wording " And Immediately😊❤...")
they(Simom😊❤
and Andrew😊❤
)
left their nets and follow him( " him" = Jesus😊1st❤).
19 And going on a little farther, he saw James😊❤
the son of Zebedee and John😊❤ his brother😊❤, ..."
Pause in Christ in Mark 1:19b.
( You might ask what do they do for living at Jesus' time before they Jesus😊1st❤ call them
?
What were
they doing? )
"... who were in their boat mending the nets."( Mark 1:19b ESV Study Bible they were originally fishmen)
"20 And
immediately(😊❤ oh Mark😊❤'s wording againb
"20 And Immediately..." 😊❤
or " immediately😊❤ from Mark 1:20a ESV Study Bible)

the son of Zebedee and John😊❤ his brother😊❤ from Mark 1:19 middle of the verse),
and they left😊❤ their father ( Zebedee😊❤) Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants ( " with the hired servants" meant James and John's family or Zebedee's familyb has a little wealth in order for the Bible said in Mark 1:20b
, "...they left😊❤ their father ( Zebedee😊❤) Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants..."
( you might ask why or how come they( James and John ) left their father Zebedee and their servants or wealth? )
"...and follow him( Jesus😊1st❤)." " ( Mark 1:16-20 above all in all in Christ. Just in case I will repeat Mark 1:20
"20 And Immediately..." 😊❤
he( Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ)
called
😊❤
them( James and John or sons of Zebedee),
and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with hired servants and followed Jesus(😊1st❤). "( Mark 1:20 ESV Study Bible
Amen to follow him( Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ. All parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ too.
Imagine you were Simon( Peter😊❤), Andrew😊❤, (James😊❤ and John😊❤ sons of Zebedee😊) you were fishermen and in your boat( s) mending( fixing ) the ( fish) nets " And Immediately"( Mark 1:18a and Mark 1:20a) Jesus( He😊1st❤) call you
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ to follow him( Jesus😊1st❤) would you also follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ) too today?
Just imagine the father Zebedee with his sons ( James and John ) mending their net in their boat and Jesus appeared and immediately called your two sons( James 😊❤
and John😊❤ sons of Zebedee😊❤) to follow him( Jesus😊1st❤) how do you feel?
Would you also leave your lovely❤ family members❤ and immediately follow Jesus😊1st❤ when Jesus immediately calls 😊❤ you😊❤ in whatever you're doing now?
In Jesus'name, i pray( Follow him( Jesus😊1st❤ John 14:6😊❤). Amen.
Genesis 44:6-17
"6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words.
7 They said to him,
" Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan.
How then could we steal silver or gold from my lord's house?
9 whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants."
10 He( Joseph) said,
" Let it be as you say: he who is found with it( the silver cup from Genesis 44:2a "...the silver cup, ...") shall be my servant, and rest of you shall be innocent."
11 Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
12 And he searched, beginning with eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city.
14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground.
15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them,
" What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible. Pause in Christ at Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"" ( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible let explain this also with Genesis 44:3-5 or Genesis 44:5 later) from Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?" "( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible Joseph😊❤ said these.)
It means
" Building on what his steward had said( Genesis 44:5 ) earlier regarding the silver cup( Genesis 44:5), Joseph portray himself as having the ability to discover secrets hidden from others. This may also be a ploy on Jeseph's part in order to elicit information from the brothers. Now that he has created the impresion that he can discover knowledge with divine help, his brothers may feel that they can no longer concel their past actions. For this reason, Judah remarks, God has found out the guilt of your servants( from Geneis 44:16
" 16 And Judah said,
" What shall we say to my lord?
What shall we speak?
or how can we clear ourselves?
God(😊100%❤) has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found."
( from Genesis 44:16 ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study said and i quote here in Christ
" In all probability Judah has in minde the brothers' treatment of Joseph😊❤
, for he( Judah😊❤
) knows that they are innocent😊❤
of taking the silver cup( no stealing😊❤). The brothers are convinced that God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) is now holding them to account for their( past) actions against Joseph😊❤. On behalf of all(😊❤'s) the brothers(😊❤'s), Judah😊❤ speaks to Joseph😊❤."( ESV Study Bible)
Last time i went skimmed over Genesis 44:5 on what Joseph's steward said to his brothers like Joseph told indirectly from Genesis 44:4, 4 b him to said to his brothers (them) in Genesis 44:5
"5 Is it not from this ( silver cup) that my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? You have done evil in doing this.' " " ( Genesis 44:5 ESV Study Bible, before i share farther i am not God or Jesus. But just a faithful servant of God (😊100%❤)
and follower of Jesus (😊1st❤ )
too in Christ)
From Genesis 44:5b
"...my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? ..."(Genesis 44:5b )
" Since these remark are set the context of a n elaborate ruse, it is impossible to know whether they should be taken as reflecting something that Joseph actually did. Joseph(😊❤ ) clearly intends that his brothers(😊❤'s) should believe( trust by faith in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ ) or trust God😊100%❤ )) that he has powers of supernatural discernent( "discernment is something revealed by God😊100%❤ to us in Christ )(
Now we see Genesis 44:15
"15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them(😊❤'s),
" What deed is this that you have done?
Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible, this doesn't mean Joseph actually do bad divination but God reveals things to him no others understand to me by His words😊❤ from the Bible God😊100%❤ can speak in Christ too in Christ
so to Joseph's divination is different from Laban's divination . God bless Laban because of Jacob( or Israel😊❤
) to me in Christ. For future comments on divination, (we will) see from Genesis 30:27-30 on "learned by divination"
My ESV Study Bible said and I quote in quotes,
" The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible)
"Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate. " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b Laban said
" ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b ESV Study Bible)
"In Genesis, all the members of the special line descended from Abraham(😊❤ ) are portrayed as mediating God's blessing😊❤ to others( Introduction: history of salvation Summary).
" Name your wages "( Laban said to Jacob in Genesis 30:28a
" Name your wage, and I will give it."( from Genesis 30:28 ESV Study Bible ) so when Laban said in Genesis 30:28a
"28Name your wage,..
"( Genesis 30:28a ESV Study Bible)
" For 14 years( 7 years for Leah and 7 years for Rachel), Jacob( or Israel😊❤) has served Laban in order to pay the bride price for Leah and Rachel( born Joseph and Benjamin).
Having fulfilled this obligation, which has financially benefited Laban well beyond what he might have expected. Jacob(or Israel😊❤) now wants to provides for his own household. Laban, conscious of how Jacob😊❤ has enriched him and eager to retain his services, ask Jacob to name his wages for remaining with him."( ESV Study Bible)
Back to Genesis 44:17
"17 But he (Joseph) said, " Far be it from me that i should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father( Jacob or Israel😊❤ )."( above Genesis 44:17 and above all in all meant Genesis 44:6-17 ESV Study Bible along with parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ along with notes in Christ and for Christ too from ESV Study Bible and paraphased too in Christ.
In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ and follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤
John 14:6😊❤
And in Christ one wife in Christ or at least one wife at a time in Christ and Hebrews 9:11-28❤and Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ in Christ). Amen.
Mark 1:21-28
(Jesus😊1st❤ heals❤ a man with unclean spirit)
"21 When they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he( Jesus😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) entered the synagogues and was teaching.
22 And they were astonished at his( Jesus'😊1st❤) teaching😊❤,
for he(Jesus😊1st❤) taught them(😊❤'s )
( you might ask like what? )
as( like) onw who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And immediately("And Immedi ately"😊❤ what is Mark😊❤'s one of the favorite words😊❤ in Mark 😊❤ is " And Immediately😊❤")
there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 "what have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are- the Holy One of God."
25 But Jesus(😊1st❤) rebuked( yelled) him, saying,
" Be silent( "Be Silent" Or Be Still), and come out of him! "
26 And the unclean Spirit, convulsing him( that man) and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed😊❤, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,
" What is this? A new teaching ( from the Bible) with authority! He commands even then unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28 And at once his( Jesus😊1st❤'s) fame spread everywhere throughout all the sorrounding region of Galilee."( Mark 1:21-28 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ too in Christ.
Acts 1:8
"8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit( our helper 😊❤ in Christ) has come upon you(😊❤'s or you😊❤ today too in Christ) and you(😊❤'s ) will be my witnesses(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤&us 😊❤'s today too in Christ)
in
Jerusalem😊❤
and
in
all Judea😊❤
and
Samaria😊❤,
and
to the end( Acts 13-18) of the earth😊❤."( Acts 1:8 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 40:6-17 we share how Joseph had authority and now i show you Jesus(😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) in Colossians 1:15-16 in Christ
Colossians 1:15-16
"15 He ( Jesus😊1st❤) is the image of the invisible God😊100%❤, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by him( Jesus😊1st❤) all things❤ were created, in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominion or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him( Jesus😊1st❤) and for him( Jesus😊1st❤)."( Colossians 1:15-16 ESV Study Bible)
Amen in Christ.
If Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ has healed❤ you❤, how do you also going to serve him by serving others today in Christ too? Serve God by serving ❤ others as serving Jesus 😊1st❤ too in Christ. Matthew 28:19-20😊❤

Genesis 44:6-17
"6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words.
7 They said to him,
" Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan.
How then could we steal silver or gold from my lord's house?
9 whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants."
10 He( Joseph) said,
" Let it be as you say: he who is found with it( the silver cup from Genesis 44:2a "...the silver cup, ...") shall be my servant, and rest of you shall be innocent."
11 Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
12 And he searched, beginning with eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city.
14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground.
15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them,
" What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible. Pause in Christ at Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"" ( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible let explain this also with Genesis 44:3-5 or Genesis 44:5 later) from Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?" "( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible Joseph😊❤ said these.)
It means
" Building on what his steward had said( Genesis 44:5 ) earlier regarding the silver cup( Genesis 44:5), Joseph portray himself as having the ability to discover secrets hidden from others. This may also be a ploy on Jeseph's part in order to elicit information from the brothers. Now that he has created the impresion that he can discover knowledge with divine help, his brothers may feel that they can no longer concel their past actions. For this reason, Judah remarks, God has found out the guilt of your servants( from Geneis 44:16
" 16 And Judah said,
" What shall we say to my lord?
What shall we speak?
or how can we clear ourselves?
God(😊100%❤) has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found."
( from Genesis 44:16 ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study said and i quote here in Christ
" In all probability Judah has in minde the brothers' treatment of Joseph😊❤
, for he( Judah😊❤
) knows that they are innocent😊❤
of taking the silver cup( no stealing😊❤). The brothers are convinced that God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) is now holding them to account for their( past) actions against Joseph😊❤. On behalf of all(😊❤'s) the brothers(😊❤'s), Judah😊❤ speaks to Joseph😊❤."( ESV Study Bible)
Last time i went skimmed over Genesis 44:5 on what Joseph's steward said to his brothers like Joseph told indirectly from Genesis 44:4, 4 b him to said to his brothers (them) in Genesis 44:5
"5 Is it not from this ( silver cup) that my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? You have done evil in doing this.' " " ( Genesis 44:5 ESV Study Bible, before i share farther i am not God or Jesus. But just a faithful servant of God (😊100%❤)
and follower of Jesus (😊1st❤ )
too in Christ)
From Genesis 44:5b
"...my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? ..."(Genesis 44:5b )
" Since these remark are set the context of a n elaborate ruse, it is impossible to know whether they should be taken as reflecting something that Joseph actually did. Joseph(😊❤ ) clearly intends that his brothers(😊❤'s) should believe( trust by faith in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ ) or trust God😊100%❤ )) that he has powers of supernatural discernent( "discernment is something revealed by God😊100%❤ to us in Christ )(
Now we see Genesis 44:15
"15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them(😊❤'s),
" What deed is this that you have done?
Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible, this doesn't mean Joseph actually do bad divination but God reveals things to him no others understand to me by His words😊❤ from the Bible God😊100%❤ can speak in Christ too in Christ
so to Joseph's divination is different from Laban's divination . God bless Laban because of Jacob( or Israel😊❤
) to me in Christ. For future comments on divination, (we will) see from Genesis 30:27-30 on "learned by divination"
My ESV Study Bible said and I quote in quotes,
" The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible)
"Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate. " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b Laban said
" ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b ESV Study Bible)
"In Genesis, all the members of the special line descended from Abraham(😊❤ ) are portrayed as mediating God's blessing😊❤ to others( Introduction: history of salvation Summary).
" Name your wages "( Laban said to Jacob in Genesis 30:28a
" Name your wage, and I will give it."( from Genesis 30:28 ESV Study Bible ) so when Laban said in Genesis 30:28a
"28Name your wage,..
"( Genesis 30:28a ESV Study Bible)
" For 14 years( 7 years for Leah and 7 years for Rachel), Jacob( or Israel😊❤) has served Laban in order to pay the bride price for Leah and Rachel( born Joseph and Benjamin).
Having fulfilled this obligation, which has financially benefited Laban well beyond what he might have expected. Jacob(or Israel😊❤) now wants to provides for his own household. Laban, conscious of how Jacob😊❤ has enriched him and eager to retain his services, ask Jacob to name his wages for remaining with him."( ESV Study Bible)
Back to Genesis 44:17
"17 But he (Joseph) said, " Far be it from me that i should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father( Jacob or Israel😊❤ )."( above Genesis 44:17 and above all in all meant Genesis 44:6-17 ESV Study Bible along with parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ along with notes in Christ and for Christ too from ESV Study Bible and paraphased too in Christ.

(Jesus😊1st❤ heals❤ a man with unclean spirit)
"21 When they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he( Jesus😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) entered the synagogues and was teaching.
22 And they were astonished at his( Jesus'😊1st❤) teaching😊❤,

as( like) onw who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And immediately("And Immedi ately"😊❤ what is Mark😊❤'s one of the favorite words😊❤ in Mark 😊❤ is " And Immediately😊❤")
there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 "what have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?

I know who you are- the Holy One of God."
25 But Jesus(😊1st❤) rebuked( yelled) him, saying,
" Be silent( "Be Silent" Or Be Still), and come out of him! "
26 And the unclean Spirit, convulsing him( that man) and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed😊❤, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,
" What is this? A new teaching ( from the Bible) with authority! He commands even then unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28 And at once his( Jesus😊1st❤'s) fame spread everywhere throughout all the sorrounding region of Galilee."( Mark 1:21-28 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ too in Christ.

the disciples of the Pharisee fast,
but your( Jesus'😊1st❤) disciples do not fast? "
19 And Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them( in a parable in Christ),
" Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast."( ESV Study Bible)
Is Jesus your bridegroom too today?
I remember i said( say) Jesus (😊1st❤) my Lord and my savior in Christ is my number # 1 or 😊1st❤
in Christ and my wife in Christ #2 in Christ. Imagine you said that during your wedding ceremony in Christ in front many pastors and minsters in Christ with one index finger point up Jesus😊1st❤ and many people too witenessedour special day in Christ.😊❤ Today to me in Christ, is still the same to me in Christ.
My Jesus😊1st❤ grows with me and walks and grows within me over the years in Christ. Jesus makes my faith grow in him too in Christ.
My God(😊100%❤), our Father in heaven also grow bigger and bigger within me in Christ each day too in Christ also. He expands my horizon in Christ like faith upon higher faith😊❤ in Christ Jesus😊1st❤.
Grace 😊❤ upon grace😊❤
in Christ it grows within me and with Jesus😊1st❤
And mercy😊❤ upon mercy😊❤😊❤ too, it also grows in Christ and with Christ too😊❤.
It hard to fathom my God how majestic is He to us in Christ. God get bigger and bigger and it grows me to know to know& trust Him more and trust more and more each day in Christ completely depend on God and Jesus for everything in Christ. My Faith in God(😊100%❤)
and trust in Jesus😊1st❤ grow deeper and deeper each day with God(😊100%❤) in Christ. I see God's grace 😊❤ in me in Christ
in a total higher ways or eyes of faith lenses in Christ.
Anyways, enough about me in Christ. My question: How deep is our( your ) spirituality in Christ? How is your relationship with Jesus😊1st❤ today in Christ?
Back to Mark 2:20-22
"20 The days will come when the bridegroom( imply Jesus😊1st❤) is taken away from them, and
then
they will fast in that day."( ESV Study Bible)
( just like today for some of us in Christ also sometimes too fast in Christ for a good cause in Christ)
" 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment.
If he does, the patch tears away from it,
the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
22 And no one put new wine into old wineskins.
If he does, the wine will burst the skins- and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine for fresh wineskins." "( Mark 2:20-22 ESV Study Bible above and Mark 2:18-22 ESV Study Bible above all in all in Christ and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ & sharing also meant in and for Christ Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ.
Does God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) also grows with you in Christ as you grow in more and more faith( trust😊❤) in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ with Him too each too?
How is your relationship with Jesus😊1st❤ today? I walk with God and have a very deep and very-close relationship with Jesus(😊1st❤ ). What about you❤ today?
