The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Father

What do you think of Jesus Christ? Whose Son is he?

When at last you lift up the Son of Man (on the cross), you will know who I am, realizing that I did nothing according to my own plan or authority, but delivered to you the words which my Father instructed me to proclaim.

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful for what I believe and know, humbled by what I don’t know and all that causes me to doubt. Yet I feel as much blessed as I do needful; for at have what I know, and this I feel is so much more than so many. So I lift all those souls who cannot feel the Spirit within or who harden themselves not to feel. For I know it is better to feel and still be wanting, and humbled by ones weakness in being human than not to feel at all. One must stay out of that void, that empty state that is neither blessed or wanting for that is where evil waits, to feed on our weakness, to use our humanity against us. Help us stay hungry for You and Your word, always guiding us back to Jesus, where at the foot of the Cross blessing and want come together in knowledge, knowledge of who Jesus Christ is and what He does and means for and to each of us. It is not always easy to be wanting, but wanting for Jesus must become as natural and each breath we take, and just as we cannot go many moments without breathing, we should not walk many steps without thinking and seeking His will first. Help us use doubt to strengthen our belief as iron sharpens iron makes us know and feel our strength in and with Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The disbelief of Thomas has done more for our faith than the faith of the other disciples. As he touches Christ and is won over to belief, every doubt is cast aside and our faith is strengthened. "My Lord and My God.".

— Pope St. Gregory the Great

Malachi 3:1-4

2  But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? "For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap;  3  he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, till they present right offerings to the LORD. 
Psalm 24:7-10
Hebrews 2:14-18

16  For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.  17  Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.  18  For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. 
Luke 2:22-40

22  And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  23  (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord")  24  and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."  25  Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  26  And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.  27  And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,  28  he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,  29  "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;  30  for mine eyes have seen thy salvation  31  which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples,  32  a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to thy people Israel."  33  And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him;  34  and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against  35  (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."  36  And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phan’u-el, of the tribe of Asher; she was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,  37  and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.  38  And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.  39  And when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.  40  And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:

When Heaven Invades Earth Unabridged By Bill Johnson Narrated by Tim Lundeen – When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is our commission. The Great Commission that Christ gave the Church challenges us and makes us responsible to rise up to this supreme supernatural calling. Johnson explains how we are called to dominion in the earth through the divine rule of God.
