Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
the God who is, who was, and who is to come.
Alleluia!
Gospel John 3:16-18
God sent his Son so that through him the world might be saved
Jesus said to Nicodemus:
‘God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost
but may have eternal life.
For God sent his Son into the world
not to condemn the world,
but so that through him the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him will be condemned;
but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already,
because he has refused to believe in the name of God’s only Son.’
Notes from meeting on 30 May 2023
A picture of Jesus arriving among us in Great Glory, He is accompanied by flames of the Holy Spirit. Jesus walks to each person present and places His Hands on their head and to each He says “You are Mine”, Jesus then looks lovingly into the persons eyes and smiles saying “Be Holy as your Father in Heaven is Holy” *. Then He looks at all and says “Thank you for honouring My Mother”, Then He disappears leaving a Great Light above us, which penetrates our hearts and minds enabling us to accept these gifts of Love.
Joshua 5 v 13-15
13 Once when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing before him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, ‘Are you one of us, or one of our adversaries?’ 14 He replied, ‘Neither; but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.’ And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshipped, and he said to him, ‘What do you command your servant, my lord?’ 15 The commander of the army of the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy.’ And Joshua did so.
*Leviticus 19:2
Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
1 Peter 1:14-16
14 Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. 15 Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’
Make us Holy Lord as you are Holy.
