    THE FATHER GRANTS POSITION AND AUTHORITY TO JESUS

    Pt. 6

    The Father gives to Jesus as the incarnate Word of God all dominion, power, and authority Mt. 28:18) over creation before creation as it is through the Son that all things were created. The Son is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords over all creation. Jesus gives eternal life to all whom the Father brings to Him and He is given the right to judge all of created beings, humans and angelic. ( Heb 1:8, Jn. 17:2)

    The Father wills that every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord of all to the glory of God. The Father has commanded the angels to worship the Son ( Heb 1:6) and all the redeemed are to worship Jesus as well as shown in Rev. 5:6-13 acclaiming that Jesus was slain and redeemed for Himself by His shed blood His people who come from every tongue tribe and nation.

    The Father has ordained that His Son will secure the victory over sin, death, hell, and the devil, destroying all the evil works and sins of Him who deceived Eve and enticed Adam to disobey God in the beginning. ( 1 john 3:8, 1 Cor. 15:55; Rev. 1:17-18; 1 Cor. 15:26; Rev. 20:1-10; 21:1-5)

    The Father commands that the Son be given the same honor as the Father ( Jn. 5:23) and restores the glory to Jesus upon His resurrection ( Jn. 17:1, 4-5) that He always had before His incarnation.

    The Father has the Son, Jesus, sitting on the Father's throne in heaven, at His right hand ( Acts 7:55; Jn. 12:41; Mk. 16:19) displaying that Jesus is equal in nature to the Father and worthy to receive all that the Father receives in worship.

    Got to go for now. Making wings for dinner. I realized that I did not cite verses for thr other parts. Sorry, but in this section.

    GiGi,

    Oh my, "Wings for dinner?" Now I'm hungry! I was reading along and trying to stay focused but I'm not sure how I can focus now thinking about wings! Anyway, thank you so much for sharing these things with us along with all those scriptures!

    Enjoy your dinner. I had leftovers, not that I'm complaining. The Lord is good!

    Blessings!

    Hello Jesse

    Thanks for reading along. I have had the ideas for this topic ready for a while and was going to begin posting in March. But something I cannot really put my finger upon has brought me hesitation. But now I don't feel that anymore and so "here we go"!

    I happen to be a very thorough person, thus the long and numerous postings on a subject. I am very analytical and seek to look at all parts of a situation to have a broad and accurate understanding of what I wish to share or do or believe. I appreciate that people will bear with me in these things because I do think that these are aspects of my make-up that God chose for me and so I use them for His glory as much as I am able, being a weak sinner and needing the Holy Spirit to help me along and keep me moving in the direction He wants me to go.

    The wings were good, but too spicy for me and little Rosie. I wish you could have seen here reaction to the spicyness. Very cute. But she kept on working that little wing bone. The others didn't think they were too spicy, so I portioned out some for Rosie and I and rinsed them well before refrigerating. Hoping that will make them easier on Rosie and me tomorrow. I tend to invent my recipes on the fly and see how it comes out a lot of the time and my wings in the past have been more bland. So I upped the spice this time. Whew-Eee!

    How is your remodel going on the damage to your home? We are just finishing up the outdoor painting, and just have the steps and railing to go on the covered deck along with lighting. The new windows are all in place and trimmed out. Need to be painted.

    So, it is still busy here, but we are grateful we can do so much at this time in our life here. Our home is so much more practical and comfortable for us. We have eliminated many mobility obstacles and we can see us living here for the remainder of our lives, the Lord willing.

    Shall speak with you tomorrow as I know it is late in the midwest already.

    Hi GiGi,

    Grandkids are great! I have one granddaughter (age 9) and one grandson (6). I know your granddaughter is much younger and at the age where everything they do is cute and funny. What a joy!

    Thanks for asking about the house repair. At the moment, it is not going well. The only thing we have had done so far is we had our roof replaced and all the siding on the back of the house replaced. The back siding is the only area that was hit with large hail and damaged. So, those two things are done. We still have two windows that they need to replace, our deck re-finished, light fixtures on the back of the house replaced, and the banister coming out the back garage door replaced.

    I say it is not going well because the new roof they just put on two months ago leaks and now, we have some water damage. The roofers failed to seal around the two vent pipes on our roof so every time it has rained for the last two months, water has been coming in to where it started coming through the drywall. Also, one slat of the new siding they just installed is falling off. We called our insurance, and we should be contacted by another adjuster tomorrow or Tuesday to see where we go from here.

    We are losing trust and confidence in the contractor. They are a large company, but it looks like they are hiring cheap labor to do their work. I believe they are coming from Mexico because none of the workers so far spoke any English, and I don't know Spanish, so it is very hard to communicate with them when they are here.

    Anyway, hopefully this gets resolved soon. I know this is going to cost them to repair the additional things that were damaged due to their negligence.

    Jesse,

    I am so sorry that the work on your roof and siding was not done properly and now you have even more damage! It seems that you may have a secondary insurance claim on the damage caused by the poor workmanship. Perhaps you could talk to you insurance adjuster and ask for a list of other contractors you could contact to finish and correct all the work remaining. You should be able to find a good contractor either that way or get contacts from your local hardware store where many contractors get their materials for their jobs. Often they know the good ones from the poor ones as they here from customers commenting on the contractor's jobs done for them.

    How very frustrating this must be for you and your wife!

    You grandchildren are at really good ages right now. They can share great moments with grandparents that they will remember!

    Do they live close to your home?

    I will pray for God to direct you to a contractor that will do an excellent job for you.

    GiGi,

    Thank you for the helpful advice. That is something I may consider asking. I'll have to wait and see what the adjuster has to say. The sad part of all of this is that our house is only 2-years old. The main reason for us moving to the Midwest was to be close to our grandchildren, so yes, they are close by, about a 20-minute drive. I definitely appreciate the prayer.

    Blessings to you in Christ our Savior!
