In celebration of my Simeon's (the taffy's) Birthday.

“The crown of Isaiah”

Anybody can love a good little boy… there is no merit in it. To love and intercede for bad little boys is divine love and it is love from above. The crown of Isaiah 53 is the last verse. “He made an intercession for the wicked.” For those who cause him pain.

Jesus intercedes for them when they “Were yet sinners.” Do not deceive yourself; If you love those who love you, you are just human.

But if you love your enemies and intercede for the wicked in the midst of pain as your life slips away by the minute, then you are not of yourself but are a part of the divine nature and love of Jesus.

“You will never be more like God than when in spite of your own feelings you love in your innermost those Unlovable creatures who are so indifferent, so useless, so cruel, so selfish, so egoistic, so wise in their eyes, so Jealous, so despicable, so unredeemable, so provocative, so disgusting, so wicked, so vulgar, so unable to hide the despises for you, so judgmental, sooooo…. You add your favorite adjectives at your discretion but at the crown of your thinking …please be like Jesus who intercede for the wicked.

For many people you are the only Gospel that they will see in their lifetime.

My word of testimony, as a miserable sinner, is that I came to see the invisible God on the cross of Jesus as he said his life changing prayer. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Now, it is my joy and privilege as a self-appointed prophet of the highest God to tell you that such powerful intercession shall never go unanswered.

If you want to trace your salvation, know that you are saved by grace through faith and even that faith is not of yourself because it is a gift of God. Salvation is of the Lord so no one can claim glory. Isaiah 53 is a Bible in miniature and is designed to show the invisible God in Jesus our Savior.

I want all you bad little boys and bad little girls to know … I am praying for you. Sometimes it is hard but I am praying for YOU.

You are of Jesus and I am on duty as a reminder of that rich inheritance.

PS. Please pray that God grants me relief because like brother Job of old my needs are too many to number but are very well known by our Lord. I am also in need of divine love from you.
